Department of Foreign Affairs, Executive department in Pasay, Philippines.
Department of Foreign Affairs is the government office at 2330 Roxas Boulevard in Pasay that coordinates relations with other countries and oversees diplomatic missions abroad. The main building houses offices for consular matters, negotiation teams, and administrative staff handling passports and official documents.
The ministry was created in 1898 during the First Philippine Republic and resumed control of foreign affairs after the Second World War. Commonwealth Act No. 732 restored its powers following periods when the country was under US and Japanese rule.
The ministry preserves the library named after former President Elpidio Quirino, which collects documents and materials on the country's diplomatic record. Visitors can see the public areas where official ceremonies and receptions for foreign delegations take place.
Visitors can access services for passports, authentication, and consular support during weekday business hours. Entry to the building requires valid identification and prior appointment depending on the type of service needed.
The building sits directly on Manila Bay and offers views of the water from the upper floors. The location was chosen to ease access for representatives arriving from the port or the airport.
