About Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu
The gracious Southern colonial building at 2433 Pali Highway has been the site of the Philippine Consulate General since 1948. The Consulate was formally opened on 14 November 1948 at a reception hosted by Consul General and Mrs. Modesto Farolan.
The Philippine Consulate was formerly the home of Albert Horner, a sugar executive. Mr. Horner purchased the property in 1913 from the estate of William Pfotenhauer, a German Consul and a Vice President of Hackfeld and Company.
In October 1948, the Philippine Memorial Foundation purchased this property which originally consisted of 57,000 square feet of land. The Foundation sold a portion of the property (11,395 square feet) to the territory of Hawaii for the construction of Pali Highway. The remaining area (now approximately 46,000 square feet) together with the building was sold to the Republic of the Philippines on 19 May 1961. Between the time of its purchase and sale, the property had been rented by the Republic of the Philippines.
The jurisdiction of the Consulate General in Honolulu includes all the islands of the State of Hawaii, namely: Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Big Island or Hawaii. Also part of the jurisdiction is American Samoa.
