MANILA, Philippines — US President Joe Biden this week appointed three Filipino-American women to his advisory commission on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. 

 

In a statement, the White House said the advisory body will advise Biden "on ways the public, private, and non-profit sectors can work together to advance equity and opportunity for every Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community."
