KABABAYAN REMINDED TO REMAIN VIGILANT WHEN IN NEW YORK CITY

The Philippine Consulate General in New York advises the Filipino Community to remain vigilant after an 18-year-old Filipino tourist from Cebu was reported to have been violently assaulted near the Philippine Center in Manhattan on Wednesday. In view of this incident, the Consulate reminds members of the Filipino Community as well as kababayan visiting New York to exercise the necessary precautions while on the streets or in the subways. Based on information received by the Consulate this afternoon, the victim was walking with three other Filipinos near the corner of 6th Avenue and 46th Street when he was assaulted. The Filipino sustained facial injuries from the beating he received from the suspect who was eventually subdued and turned over to authorities. This is the 41st incident since last year that involves a Filipino who was either a victim of a hate crime or incident or a criminal act. The Consulate is in touch with the New York City Police Department to get more information on the incident. It is unknown at this point if the incident was anti-Asian-hate-related.

And JCFACC is back. We are excited for the new things and the future plans. Meeting held on 7-14-22 at The Backyard a JCFACC member food establishment in Jersey City Westside.

The Philippine Consulate General in New York encourages Filipino organizations in the Northeast USA to register or update their contact information, so that the Consulate can effectively provide important information to our kababayan and allow us the opportunity to include them in the community directory.
