This resolution pays tribute to the sacrifice of FilipinoAmericans and their perseverance in the face of political. social. and ethnic adversity. Throughout our Nation. there are about 2.4 million Americans of Filipino ancestry. Hawaii has the second largest population of FilipinoAmericans with 275.000 residing there today. Our country has benefitted greatly from the many accomplishments of the FilipinoAmerican community. in all areas of society. As a Nation with a rich immigrant heritage. it is only right that our country recognizes the struggles and triumphs experienced by the Filipino community. I would also like to commend my other colleagues in Hawaiis Congressional delegation. Representatives ED CASE and NEIL ABERCROMBIE. for sponsoring this resolution in the other body.
