The White House on Sunday paid tribute to the contributions of Filipino-Americans to the United States on the commemoration of the yearly Fi-Am History Month.
In a Twitter post, the White House said that Filipino-Americans “have helped forge the very idea of America.”
“This Filipino American History Month, the Biden-Harris Administration is proud to honor generations of Filipino Americans who have ensured our nation remains a land of hope, opportunity, and optimism,” the White House said.
There are around four million Filipino-Americans in the United States, one of the largest Asian-American communities in the U.S.
