Newly appointed Consul ad honorem Ms. Charmagne Garcia-Laconico possesses a unique blend of skills and experience specializing in communications, culture, and commerce. A former member of the prestigious Bayanihan, the Philippine National Dance Company, the Philippines’ oldest and most multi-awarded dance company, Garcia-Laconico has been (and still admits to be ) a student of the world. She received various accreditations in leadership, etiquette, and cosmetics among others from Canada, the US, Japan, France and the UK, which altogether helped her navigate different disciplines in her career targeting different sectors. She has since become a full-fledged mentor to various industries in her home country and abroad — lending her vision and carrying out the mission herself with her trademark panache.
Appointed on 21 June 2021, Garcia-Laconico is poised to help the Philippine government strengthen its representation in the Republic of Cyprus, enhance bilateral economic ties and cultural exchanges, and further assist our Filipino nationals in need here.
