From a handful of Filipinos who first arrived to work in the sugarcane fields of Hawaii 100 years ago, the community has grown to some 2.5 million, most of them naturalized US citizens or permanent residents. In addition there are about 200,000 illegal Filipino workers.


Their overall remittances to the Philippines last year totaled about $6.6 billion.

WASHINGTON —  Filipino World War II veterans are within reach of getting full equity denied them by the US government over the past 60 years, said Bob Filner, presumptive Democratic chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee.


"Now you don’t have to beg. You deserve it and you’re going to get it. We’re on the verge of victory," the congressman from San Diego told a meeting of veterans leaders at the Philippine embassy in Washington on Wednesday.
