If I could rate this agency negative stars I would. No one answers the phone when you try to reach out for help/clarification on requirements. I have called multiple times, at different times during office hours, without any response. If you ask for more information via email to clarify information on the website, they just repeat whatever is on the website, which is unhelpful. After another email to ask for a clarification I never got a response back. It might have just been overlooked, I am assume with covid they must get numerous emails, but even after repeated emails and waiting for days, I never got a response. It's a huge waste of time trying to get anything done through this agency, you get nothing at the end of all your efforts.

The friendly atmosphere and positive attitude of the Filipinos are here. When you’re in NYC this Consulate office/ Mission of the Philippines to the United Nations welcomes anybody who enters this building on 5 Ave not too far from the Rockefeller Center. The interiors are great with the hanging chandelier on the ceiling made of local Philippine material capiz shell. The staffs are friendly and knowledgeable. The restrooms though need to be refurbished. Always a pleasure to drop by!

Appointment for Passport renewal great website....nice lay out, fast, organized interface...happy for people who were able to get an appointment. There seems to be no open slots in DC and NYC after 30 days? In fact there is no choice offered on the web page..it just shows no slots available. This is a testament to the Philippine governments efficiency, organization, and compassion in facilitating their citizens timely processing of travel documents. I am confident the consular staff and ambassador is doing everything they can to facilitate this process as evidenced by the fact that they don't really answer the phones and keep on directing you to the website w/o any open slots. Good to know that things remain consistent the.. pinoy way!

I write this in the most well-meaning way, and without malice whatsoever, and only with the endeavor to help this embassy improve. I really do wish those who work here consider the fact that not all Filipinos speak Tagalog or were born in the Philippines. I am a Bisaya speaker and migrated to the US when I was eight years old (I am 24 now) so I only spoke English and Bisaya growing up. They never took into account that I would not understand them, and despite all my replies to them being in English they didnt get the hint. Also, greeting people a good morning or a good afternoon would be nice. The man at the front door did not welcome me in a positive manner and he gave me a nasty attitude. The communication skills are also poor among the staff which is a serious aspect that needs to improve asap. The service to me was fine but this is an embassy. I expect the workers to be extraordinary in their people skills. It is embarassing that such carelessness towards courtesy and competence are abundant in this embassy. Definitely lots of room for improvement.

We came from Philadelphia that's the only Philippines consulate close to! And they don't have parking space.
