WASHINGTON, D.C., 19 May 2021 - Anchoring on this year’s 75th anniversary of Philippines and US relations, Ambassador Romualdez highlighted the Philippines’ continued engagement with the US government and private sector counterparts to underscore the Philippines as an attractive investment destination and “as the pathway to Asia in a postpandemic world,” during the Museum Volunteers of the Philippines’ Monthly Lecture Program Series entitled “The Philippines and the U.S. Biden Administration” on 17 May 2021.
Following the Ambassador’s remarks, a lively discussion and open forum took place where Ambassador Romualdez expounded on varying issues from diplomacy under a Democrat and Republican Government, national security and the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT), the US role in relation to the West Philippine Sea, investment and business potential in the Philippines, and Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) hate in the US, among others.
Founded in 1981, the Museum Volunteers of the Philippines is a non-profit, apolitical, non-sectarian organization which aims to promote friendship and understanding within its international membership through its lecture series program, study groups, excursions and Philippine history courses. END
