On 28-30 July 2023, she embarked on a regional visit to Latrobe Region and East Gippsland Shire where she promoted the services of the Consulate, conducted a rapid assessment\/mapping of Filipinos in those regions and lent support to them. \u201cYou are the first Philippine government official to come this way,\u201d they told her.<\/span><\/p>

In Morwell, she met with the leaders of the Samahang Pilipino Australians sa Gippsland (SPAG), visited the Asian Supermarket\/Paraluman Trading Store owned by Aileen Formoso who also owns a nearby Ai\u2019s Caf\u00e9, and watched a Filipino basketball tournament. \u201cIt was a surprise to see many students in Melbourne who go to the regions to work on farms, factories and food outlets,\u201d she said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Clockwise from top: Explaining the 125th harmonized celebration of Philippine Independence of the Filipino Community in Victoria to MP Tim Bull; Mina Armstrong (center) with Australian friends at the get-together on 30 July; a boat ride with Mina Armstrong and Lulu Lorenzo; some of the Filipino-Australian guests who expressed interest to avail of dual citizenship.<\/em><\/p>

In Bairnesdale, she met Rowena Mills, owner of the biggest Asian grocery called Weng Weng and leader of PinOz in East Gippsland. Her store serves as a meeting place, not only of Filipinos but other Asian migrants as well. The Bairnesdale Regional Health Service, now a hospital, benefitted from the philanthropic efforts in 2009 of Mina Armstrong, a Filipino Community leader in nearby town of Paynesville through her donation of the dialysis center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mina Armstrong hosted a dinner attended by some 25 Filipino-Australians and 10 Australian friends of Mina\u2019s, including MP Tim Bull, Member for Bairnsdale of the State Parliament, Joe Rettino, former Mayor of Bairnsdale (2016-2017) and Bob Yeates, publisher of Bairnsdale Advertiser. \u201cI may have only scratched the surface, the Consul General said, \u201cbut my visit presented a good dose of goodwill for the government.\u201d<\/p>\n
