Public Awareness: Filipino Amerasians – America’s Forgotten Children

The Many (Forgotten) Faces of America

ameriasian9When the US naval bases in the Philippines closed in 1992, the military left behind thousands of Amerasian children. Since the closings, American presence still exists and -contrary to initial estimate of 52,000 – it is now estimated that there are 250,000 Amerasian children, ranging from newborn to geriatric, abandoned in the Philippines. These Amerasians are acutely vulnerable, particularly to human trafficking, and painfully stigmatized. They live in abject poverty, forcing them to continue the cycle of marginalized sub-existence and prostitution.

How can one be half-American and still not a citizen? The US Senate Judiciary Committee ameriasian2rejected attempts to include the Philippines in the Naturalization Act, “claiming that Filipino Amerasians were not victims of discrimination, that they were conceived from illegal prostitution, and that, unlike Amerasians in South Korea and Vietnam, they were born during peacetime. But none of these are unconscionable grounds for selectively preventing Filipino Amerasians from coming to this country.

Amerasian Girl with Filipino MotherAt a time when the issue of immigration reform is before the nation, Amerasians need new leaders in Congress to speak on their behalf. What’s more, the military has recently announced that it will restore a significant presence in the Philippines; last year, over 70 ships stopped at Subic Bay, and over 100 planes stop at Clark Air Base each month. The United States, then, has an opportunity for redemption — to make sure Filipino Amerasians are not left behind by the ship again.” (1)

______________________________________________________________Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Who are the Filipino Amerasians?

In 1992, the United States military left the Philippines. I thought they took everything with them. But they left behind 50,000 Amerasian children whose fathers were American sailors and their mothers were assumed to be prostitutes. These Amerasians are America’s forgotten children.

In 1982, the United States Congress voted to grant U.S. citizenship to Amerasians from Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, and other Asian countries, in what was known as the Amerasian Homecoming Act. Although the Philippines has been a United States ally for more than a century, Filipino (and Japanese) offspring of soldiers were not included: they must be claimed by their former American G.I. fathers if they wish to claim their U.S. citizenship.

Why is the Bayanihan Foundation making this one of its partnership priorities?

Many Amerasian children are labeled Iniwan ng Barko (left by the ship). I met some of them during my first visit to Angeles in January 2011. I heard many of their tragic stories of discrimination and prejudice.

How can you help?

Many are unaware of this important issue yet it involves  many complex issues and moral issues.  What does the future hold for these forgotten children of the post-war world? What moral obligation does the US have to America’s forgotten children?  Do they have to find their fathers in the US to find peace? Will their fathers and their families accept their Amerasian offspring? Will these Amerasians even adjust to life in the US after living in the Philippines all their lives? Or does the local Filipino society have to accept these forgotten children and not discriminate against them?

It is critical for the foundation to bring this issue to the forefront.

  1. Hi,
    I have started an online petition that I think you may be interested in. It concerns Amerasians from Japan and The Philippines. I hope you will consider reading it and spreading the word about it, Thanks.

      Hello Jimmy,
      Your efforts for an online petition is commendable. However, the Filipino Amerasian community leaders that attended the July 2-3, 2011 workshop are more focused on the daily survival needs of their fellow Filipino Amerasians. They also expressed concern on deep discrimination that they face everyday. Thank you for commenting and reading my blog entry.

      Sincerely,

    Please pursue this advocacy for the benefit and welfare of Filipino-Amerasian who left by their fathers or wasn’t able to give a chance to claim their birthrights! Or at least given a chance to have a priority job or to be able to continue their study’s to be prepared in the near coming future.!!

    i am a mother of an amerasian…he is on his 25th year already…his birth certificate was signed by his father…as of now we have a communication already…but he doesn’t have any work in u.s….so by this kind of organization…what possibilities do we expect in regards to others who the same situation?

    • daleasis says:

      Hello Lorna,

      Kumusta na? The Bayanihan Foundation does not provide direct support services to Amerasians and the processing of their paperwork. The foundation’s role is to promote public education and outreach to the general public, especially to other Filipinos in the US regarding this issue. The Bayanihan Foundation is partnering with its nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) WeDpro and Buklod to help Filipino Amerasians and their immediate needs. Please contact them directly for more information.

      Please also join the Facebook page of United Philippine Amerasians for more info about the public education and outreach we are conducting. Thank you for your interest and for reading my blog entry!

    More work should be done by both US and Philippine govt to address these issues.
    Like you stated that the US military is seeking more Philippine govt assistance in relocating some of it forces back to Philippines. Some kind of aid should be given to these kids by US Congress similar for the renovations of the US cemetery. Since the Hawaii senator past away you may try to seek assistance from the Guam Congresswoman to follow this up. Let me know if you need assistance in this. Ray.. Guam USA

      Hello Ray,

      Thank you for reading my blog and for offering assistance in helping the thousands of Amerasians left behind in Clark and Subic, Philippines. I will certainly reach out to you and request for your help in reaching out to your Guam Congresswoman.

    • daleasis says:

      Hello Bert,
      I’m sorry that your father is not wiling to help or cooperate at this time. In 1982 after the Vietnam War, the US Congress
      passed the Amerasian Act of 1982, which allowed Amerasian children in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and South Korea to immigrate without the consent of their American GI fathers. However, the law excluded Filipino Amerasians. It’s a tragic omission of justice. You probably need to see a pro bono lawyer for any other legal recourse. Thank you for reading my blog. Maraming salamat.

  21. Joseph Anderson says:

    I’m American with filam babies. Let me tell you a side of story you may not know. The Philippines government makes it very hard for Father’s to claim their children. My gf/mother of my babies had a birth certificate with many mispelleings it took her a year to get corrected. Also it takes a long time just to get to babies nso birth certificate and your lucky if no mistakes which are costly and time consuming.. Then you have to apply in manila and fly whole family there. And they want multiple id’s of mother which is very hard to get especially in areas visited by military. If Philippine government would give proper birth certificates and id’s then American could claim their children. it takes years to do tho
    Many can’t wait around and do that. Their hands are tied. And it’s not because they don’t want to its because Philippines government makes it impossible to get requirements.

    • daleasis says:

      Hello Joseph,

      You’re right about the difficulty manuevering around Philippine bureaucracy. However, the real challenge lies on how the US government discrminated against Filipino Amerasians. In 1982, the US Congress passed the Amerasian Act that allowed Amerasian children in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and South Korea to immigrate – but not children from the Philippines. Some members of Congress have tried to rectify the omission of the Philippines but to no avail. The US is currently in the middle of debate about immigration. I think it has an opportunity to reevaluate its policies towards Filipino Amerasians and make sure they are not left behind by the ship again. I have been trying to advocate for US citizens to talk about this grave omission and finally acknowledge America’s forgotten children, the Filipino Amerasians. Will you join me in speaking to your US Representative or Senator about this? Thank you so much for reading this blog. Sincerely, Dale
