The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature proclaims October 2025 as Filipino American History Month. It highlights the significant historical milestones of Filipinos in the United States, including the first documented landing in 1587 and the establishment of the first permanent settlement in 1763. The resolution acknowledges the growth of the Filipino American community, which is now the third-largest Asian American and Pacific Islander group in the U.S., with over 22,000 residents in Wisconsin alone. It emphasizes the contributions of Filipino Americans to various sectors, including the military, agriculture, healthcare, and the arts, and recognizes their role in enriching the cultural and economic landscape of the state and the nation.

The resolution also underscores the importance of promoting awareness and education about Filipino American history and culture, which have often been overlooked in U.S. history narratives. By designating October as Filipino American History Month, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to celebrate the heritage and contributions of Filipino Americans, reflecting on their impact over the past 425 years since their arrival in the country.
