Consul General Maria Rowena Mendoza Sanchez thanked Congresswoman Lofgren for her membership in the US-RP Friendship Caucus and for her continuing support to the Philippines.

“My meeting with Congresswoman Lofgren is intended not only to discuss important bilateral matters between our two countries, but also to convey our sincere appreciation for her continuing concern for the interests of the Philippines, including those of our surviving Filipino war veterans,” Consul General Sanchez said.

The US-RP Friendship Caucus presently has 76 members, including 7 sponsors. The members of this bipartisan congressional group represent a cross section of U.S. legislators whose respective districts have large numbers of Filipino American residents.
