This resolution expresses strong support for designating October 2025 as Filipino American History Month, aiming to celebrate the profound history, vibrant culture, and immense contributions of Filipino Americans to the United States. It highlights their earliest documented presence in 1587 and the establishment of the first permanent settlement in 1763, underscoring their long-standing impact on American development. The resolution notes that Filipino Americans constitute the third largest Asian-American group, with significant population growth and a critical role in various states. It emphasizes their extensive military service, including over 250,000 who fought in World War II, and acknowledges past issues regarding veteran benefits, which have since seen some redress through legislation and programs. Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the diverse achievements of Filipino Americans across numerous fields, such as public office, labor movements, healthcare, sports, and the judiciary. It specifically mentions their integral role in the healthcare system, with approximately one in four working Filipino adults serving as frontline healthcare workers. Ultimately, the resolution calls for continued efforts to promote the study of Filipino American history and culture, ensuring that their roles are not overlooked. It urges the people of the United States to observe Filipino American History Month with appropriate programs and activities to foster understanding, education, and appreciation of their invaluable legacy.
