On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a law that allowed Filipinos to become naturalized United States (U.S.) of America citizens. Prior to that, the only way for an individual of Filipino descent to be a U.S. citizen was to be born in the U.S.
Today, Filipino Americans play an integral part in every industry and sector. They have much to be proud of, including their strong roots and ideals and their survival in an unpredictable, even hostile, society.
