ADL’s Pacific Southwest Region is home to the largest Filipino community outside of the Philippines. Our Asian Jewish Initiative is a partnership of ADL and five community-based organization representing the Asian communities, one of which is Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA). Besides our strong ties locally, ADL also recognizes that Philippines rescued Jews during the Holocaust and was the first Asian country to recognize Israel, in November 1947. Ties to Israel remain strong: a sizable population of Filipinos live in Israel today. In response to the catastrophic Typhoon Haiyan, Israeli Defense Forces have already sent over 100 soldiers to the Philippines to help with the rescue operations.
