History and Establishment of the Post

Upon the liberation of Guam in 1946, the United States Naval Administration under which the government affairs of the island were then being administered turned to the Philippines for skilled manpower to help in the immediate rehabilitation and reconstruction of Guam. Filipino workers came in droves to perform all kinds of jobs, so many in fact that, at one time, there were around 20,000 Filipino workers on the island.

Due to this large number of Filipino workers on island, the Philippine Government and the US Naval Administration felt the need to establish a Philippine Government entity that would oversee the affairs of these workers. Initially, an honorary consulate was established and Mr. Eduardo Xauduro was appointed Honorary Consul in 1945. Mr. Xauduro served in that capacity until 1952 when the Department of Foreign Affairs appointed Mr. Bartolome A. Umayam as the first career Consul and Principal Officer to serve on Guam.

Following are the list of Principal Officers/Consuls General who served the Consulate since its establishment in 1952:
