House Bill 2186, House Draft 2
Relating to Filipino Centennial Celebration Commission
Tuesday, March 9, 2004
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support.
The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to the Filipino Centennial Celebration Commission for events commemorating the one-hundredth anniversary of the arrival in Hawaii of the first immigrants from the Philippines. I am very proud of all the contribution the Filipino community has done for Hawaii. The events for this celebration will have a positive impact on Hawaii's residents and visitors. Thank you.
