Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez expressed hope for changes in US immigration policies following the Democrats’ victories in the midterm elections.
He said Democrats have been pushing for a different approach to immigration, particularly on the detention and arrest of undocumented migrants.
The Philippine Embassy advised Filipinos with concerns about their immigration status to consult qualified immigration lawyers.
Meanwhile, the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict welcomed reports that US authorities are investigating the possible involvement of American citizens and organizations in the communist insurgency in the Philippines.
The task force also expressed readiness to cooperate with the FBI and other US authorities in sharing relevant information.
