Embassy of the Philippines, Buenos Aires

[3] The mission was later upgraded to a full embassy in 1960, with former Representative Pedro Gil, who had been appointed by Quirino's successor, Ramon Magsaysay, as minister in 1956,[4] becoming the first resident Philippine ambassador to Argentina.

[3] In 2018, members of the Argentine Workers' Central Union (CTA) organized a protest outside the embassy against the "anti-worker" labor policies of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Between 2012 and 2020, the chancery of the Philippine Embassy in Buenos Aires was located on Calle Zapiola 1701 in Belgrano, in a building designed by Swiss eclectic architect Lorenzo Siegerist [es] and built in 1904.

She then sold the property on November 6, 1950 to Josefa F. Mónaco de Miranda,[11] who ran it as the Hotel Victory, and selling it less than a year later to a new owner, Teodoro Gehrung.

[16] In 1989, it was converted into the Hogar del Virrey, a retirement home established by psychologist Alejandro van Oostveldt and his wife, Elsa Patricia Pizzi,[17] and in 2007 the property was listed as a heritage building (edificio representativo) by the Buenos Aires City Legislature with the passage of Law No.

The estate was later subdivided, and the corner lot was acquired by Tomás Finochietto and Ana Chammás, immigrants from Genoa who arrived in Argentina at the end of the 19th century.

[24] It would then pass on to their children, including Ricardo Finochietto [es], who would later become the family doctor of Argentine President Juan Domingo Perón and his wife, Eva.

[25] The Philippine Embassy in Buenos Aires is currently headed by Ambassador Grace T. Cruz-Fabella, who was appointed to the position by President Bongbong Marcos on September 1, 2022.
