The agency also advised passport applicants who need emergency or urgent consular services to contact the Consular Office via email at cdo.coclientconcerns@dfa.gov.ph.
Consular operations will resume on June 17, the DFA said.
Malacañang recently declared June 16 a special non-working holiday in Cagayan de Oro to allow residents to fully participate in the commemoration of the city’s Charter Day on June 15, which falls on a Sunday.
