Had a great time celebrating Filipino Independence Day this week with Filipino H.E. Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. and other friends at the U.S-Philippines Friendship Caucus Reception. I’m proud to have worked to pass legislation to assist the Philippines in their long recovery from Typhoon Haiyan. The people of the Philippines have been there for us in the past, and it’s important that we are there for them now. In World War II, 57,000 military Filipino servicemembers and 900,000 Filipino civilians gave their lives in support of our Allied Forces. Happy Philippine Independence Day to a wonderful country and one of our nation’s closest allies.
