This resolution designates October 2026 as Filipino American History Month and calls for celebrations recognizing the contributions of Filipino Americans to the United States. The resolution highlights the deep historical roots of Filipinos in America dating back to 1587, notes that Filipino Americans are the third largest Asian American group with approximately 5 million people, and acknowledges their significant contributions to military service, labor movements, healthcare, sports, arts, and other fields. The resolution specifically commemorates Filipino World War II veterans who fought for the United States, details their long struggle for recognition and benefits, and references key legislation like the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to these veterans in 2017. There is no funding attached to this resolution, as it is a symbolic recognition measure that urges Americans to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities to educate the public about Filipino American history and culture.
