If you’re a Filipino and lost something, it might be a good idea to check with the Philippine Consulate General first to see if your missing item is there.
Conversely, if
you find something that belongs to a Filipino, like a passport, voter’s ID or
driver’s licence, better leave it with the Consulate for easier tracking.

A few days ago,
the PCG announced on its Facebook page that a list of all found items left in
its care can be accessed through a QR code that
it posted along with the announcement.
The system is
similar to those used in many restaurants in Hong Kong today, where the menu,
prices and methods of payment can be seen by scanning a QR code, eliminating
the lengthier process of checking and ordering the dishes, and then paying the
bill afterwards

Clicking on the
PCG’s lost and found QR code, one can see 67 items listed with the owners’
names. They consist mostly of Philippine-issued documents, like voter’s ID,
PhilHealth IDs, passports and birth certificates.
Only one entry pertains
to a wallet containing a HKID card. There is also no entry for jewelry that has
been turned over to them, indicating that the Consulate does not accept
documents or items that should be turned over either to the HK Immigration
Department or the police.

Also, all items are listed with their owners’ names, which
suggest that anything that could not be linked to a Filipino owner will not be
accepted by the PCG.

The system
potentially eliminates a lot of questions being asked of PCG staff by members
of the national health insurer, which does not have an office in Hong Kong.

Those who wish
to claim their PhilHealth ID are advised to go to counter 15 at the Consulate
and present their passport or HKID card as proof of identity. For any
questions, email info.hkpcg@gmail.com
