Background
[edit]Full diplomatic relations commenced between Singapore and the Philippines on May 16, 1969.[1] Singaporean interests in the Philippines were handled by the Malaysian Embassy prior to the establishment of the chancery.[2][3] The first resident ambassador accredited to the Philippines was Haji Ya'acob bin Mohamed, when he presented his credentials to then President Ferdinand Marcos on October 16, 1969.[4][5] Finally, the embassy was established in 1973.
The Embassy
[edit]The embassy is currently headed by Ambassador Constance See, and staffed by the Deputy Chief of Mission and Counsellor, another Counsellor, the Defence Attaché, the First Secretary, the First Secretary (Political) and the Second Secretary (Admin & Consular).[6] The present chancery is designed by Forum Architects of Singapore together with local EBP Architects, to complete the multi-structure complex in 2008.[7][8] Its former location was housed in The Enterprise Center Tower 1 in Makati Central Business District.
