Honorary Consul to Perth Atty. Virma Symons will wind up her term on 14 March 2024 after a glorious four years at the helm of the Philippine Consulate in Perth.
Symons will leave behind a legacy of accomplishments that included conducting the most mobile passport missions in Perth and the regions. She also spearheaded the biggest Filipino community event during the 75th Philippines-Australia Bilateral Relations Anniversary at Perth’s Langley Park, the first time a Filipino event was held in Western Australia’s open event landmark.
Before Symons officially steps down, the Philippine Consulate in Perth paid tribute to the Filipino-Australian community for the massive support extended to the agency in the past four years.
Outgoing Honorary Consul Symons and Honorary Vice Consul Melissa Dalisay Aguasa distributed plaques and certificates to some 140 individuals and organisations during the well-attended “Pagpupugay at Pasasalamat” event at the Filipino-Australian Club of Perth Inc. Clubhouse on Saturday.
Speaker of the Parliament Michelle Roberts MP delivered the message on behalf of the Premier of Western Australia, Roger Cook.
