The Philippine Embassy in London is deeply concerned about the racist riots in Northern Ireland, reportedly triggered by an alleged sexual assault of a young girl by two Romanian teenagers. Unfortunately, in the ensuing unrest, Filipinos in the area have been targeted. The vehicle of one was set on fire. It is regrettable that innocent individuals have been caught in the crossfire.

The Embassy is closely monitoring the situation and is in constant coordination with local authorities to ensure the safety and security of all Filipinos in the area.

Ambassador Teodoro L. Locsin, Jr. is on a train  to Cardiff to raise the Filipino flag in a special ceremony at the Cardiff Castle at the invitation of the Welsh government, after which he will return to London and go to Northern Ireland to assess the situation on the ground, meet the Filipino community and ensure that no one else is hurt.

We urge all Filipinos in Ballymena and the surrounding areas to be vigilant, follow the guidance of local authorities, and contact the Embassy for any urgent assistance.

The Ambassador and his team will be in Northern Ireland by tomorrow morning.

Ambassador and Mrs Teodoro Locsin Jr. showed they’ve got moves and heart at TLC Day (Tulong, Lingap, Celebration) — a fun-filled Migrant Workers Day event!

From free manicures, haircuts and massages to legal advice and consular consultation, our OFWs were treated not just to services — but to a celebration of care, community, and a whole lot of pampering!

Because when it comes to serving our kababayans, it’s always TLC with LOVE.  💙 ❤️🤍

Ambassador and Mrs. Teodoro Locsin, Jr. attended the Independence Day Gala of the Caviteños Association UK, a  celebration of heritage, unity, and national pride.
 

Held in honor of the 127th anniversary of Philippine Independence, the event paid tribute to Cavite’s historic role in the birth of the nation. It was in Cavite where the Philippine flag was first unfurled in 1898. Ambassador Locsin commended the Caviteño community in the UK for preserving their traditions while continuing to contribute meaningfully to British society.
