American Association of the Philippines turns 70

Last February 17, 2018, the American Association of the Philippines (AAP) celebrated their 70th Anniversary with a George Washington Charity Ball at Alphaland, Makati. The event kicked off with a press conference discussing the mandates of AAP and the list of 2018 honorees. Plans to raise funds for the certain programs were also highlighted, among them scholarships for Filipino-Americans as well as Americans and Filipinos, financial assistance for Americans in dire straights or temporarily lacking funds, repatriation of US citizens and other relevant problems.
