The Embassy of the Philippines is calling on Filipinos in the Kingdom of Bahrain to register for the May 2022 Philippine national elections.

All qualified Filipino citizens residing and working abroad – better known as the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) – should contact the embassy for details on how to proceed.

More details can also be found on the embassy’s official website: https:// manamape.dfa.gov.ph/ Better yet, those who have not registered should visit the embassy located in Mahooz as personal appearance is required.

The registration is part of the embassy’s efforts to gradually shift back to normal consular operations while strictly following the required safety precautions and protocols within its premises.

Filipinos in the Kingdom have expressed their gratefulness to the embassy for the resumption of the registration, in which they have the chance to exercise their right and duty to choose the next leaders of the country, particularly the president.

 To encourage Filipinos to register, the embassy is utilising its social media accounts by posting infomercials and posters to increase awareness in Bahrain.

In October last year, the embassy resumed the activity following a five-month suspension due to the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

 Overseas registration started in December 2019 and will run until September 30, 2021.
