SN+1 MEDIA: HOW TO GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (DFA MAIN OFFICE) ALONG ROXAS BOULEVARD IN PASAY CITY

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) is the principal government agency tasked of carrying out Philippine foreign policy. This includes pursuing Philippine interests by way of entering into international accords and treaties designed to enhance the country's standing before the global community.

The DFA is also at the forefront of establishing healthy relations between the Philippines and the rest of the community of nations. This includes various aspects, including fostering greater economic, cultural, and people-to-people relations.

For many Filipinos, DFA is the agency responsible for the issuance of Philippine passports. In fact, the DFA has a number of satellite offices all over the country to cater to huge number of Filipinos applying for, or renewing their, passports.

The main office of the DFA is located in 2330 Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City. It is an old building facing the Manila Bay and flanked on all corners by offices and condominium high-rises, residential barangays, and a maritime school.
