Philippine consul general in Hong Kong seeks to ease fears over security screening for Duterte visit
Those wishing to attend April 12 event had to submit their passport and Hong Kong ID card details online
The new Philippine consul general in Hong Kong has assured his compatriots their personal data will be protected during security measures to screen guests at a meet-and-greet with the country’s president Rodrigo Duterte next week.
Duterte will hold a six-hour meeting with members of the city’s Filipino community on April 12, and online registration has been extended to this Friday to accommodate as many people as possible at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, the likely venue, Antonio Morales said on Tuesday.
