- Amerasian daughters of U.S Military Fathers are still not recognized by the U.S Goverment for U.S citizenship due to not being claimed by their fathers before they reached 18 years old. This is an interview with Regina and Sarah Jane who discovered their true identities with the help of Ancestry DNA kits, but still cannot obtain US Citizenship due to archaic immigration rules for Filipino Amerasians. #dnatest #citizenship #amerasian

National League of Ameriasians should contact US Congress see if they can draft a bill for them and also other children in same situation so they are granted their birth right to be US citizens ....its like they are being punished from their fathers choices
@@IdoraCruzInofre-xk2wv yes po, just send a PM to our FB page The Leah and Blair Slog.
It is understandable that first generation should have consideration, the next generation will need to apply for naturalization. I was born in Cavite by my late Mother from the Visayan Islands… not including my half brothers (all from different Mothers) by my Dad during the Vietnam era-I was fortunate to be raised by my step father and eventually get my Naturalization as I got older. It was excruciating to have the void growing up, but blessed I had relatives that raised me in Manila. I had to find my biological father when I turned 15 yrs old --long story short we laid him to rest today 8/19/2024 in Miramar National Cemetary. All my surviving siblings were ALL together finally, to send our Father in the arms of our Lord. My heart goes out to each FilAm child left behind. Thank You for the closure you give these precious AmeriAsians ❤
As a marine and a Vietnam veteran I agree with her 100% she should have an equal opportunity in the United States of America and her children as well.
I am also a navy veteran who spent time at Subic Bay and I agree with you.
Navy and Marines...the most common male filipino profession LOL
I’m teary eyed about what Regina said “ hope the American government will recognize the Amerasian “ She’s so right .. they are the children of the Service Men ❤
Any Filipino that has an American father should be granted American Citizenship No matter how old They are. Take care.
You are so right my dear! Philippines government has to fight for this issue and this is not fair! You deserve half of who you are. An American 🇺🇸🇵🇭
Yes she is right - half of their history is in the US so the US should consider this.
The lady speaks English fluently and I pity them being bullied .Hope they can be allowed to visit their relatives here in America.
You need to create a petition to be emailed throughout the USA for US citizens to sign on your behalf to present to Congress!
She is right
Leah & Blair, this video is very good. I would love to see you do a lengthier documentary on the 'Plight of the Amerasians', perhaps by splicing parts of videos together that you already have focused on this one subject with your vocal narration. 🙂
American military need to make servicemen accept and claim their children and submit the paperwork to get them citizenship.
So you want to force the military into doing this? LOL why not force the governments instead
I feel you, Regina and the other amerasian 😢. I hope someday your wish, your work for amerasians will come true. I'll pray with you for it to happen. Yes, be strong and never give up.
That is so sad for the Amerasian children being bullied and called names by some ignorant people who discriminate because of the color of their skin.
Thanks Ladies for sharing your story
I always thought that as long as you had a parent who was a US citizen when you were born ( even if outside the US) you could claim citizenship. This is kind of eye opening to an even bigger problem.
I don't think it was ever the case - if not like the UK they must have changed the law.
Technically yes the offspring is automatic US citizens but the father has to claim them by submitting evidence and CRBA application to embassy before 18th Birthday. If not then they can petition for them before their child 21st birthday
The main problem is the fathers and mothers aren’t married so then the child is illegitimate. It’s more hoops to jump their like getting DNA test that has to be requested by Embassy. And even then the father has to agree to it. That’s the main problem. If the biological parents were married before birth of the child the kid can derive US Citizenship
@@TooHonest4_You Funny how the US government (Federal, state and municipal) takes a different approach to dealing with alleged fathers than they do towards those men when foreign children are involved.
Last I recall, they were arresting men here in the states when they didn't claim and take care of their children. If you are an American citizen you should be required to take care of your children, PERIOD!
@@TB-xx4gc I fully agree with you on that. It’s our stupid congress not wanting to pass laws. You have all these illegal immigrants that don’t speak English and don’t want to assimilate into American society. I feel Ameriasian should get automatic citizenship if DNA shows US Father. I would take Ameriasians over what we got coming through the southern border
This is issue should be addressed especially now that US visiting forces have access to 9 bases instead of being confined in places like Olongapo or Clark.
Correct
I think...Philippines has enough Ameriasia children. That they need to file a lawsuit against America. For America to recognize these Ameriasia children made by military personnel or Americans. America holds bases there, the Philippine President could throw this on the table. 'Hey, you need to recognize these military children left behind'. The United States military has a saying "NO MAN LEFT BEHIND!" And that should include the children they made and left behind! These men did not adhere to the oaths they took when they joined the military! Military law is very strict and military courts should hold these soldiers accountable! Even if they are dead and gone, DNA testing is proof that they are American!
They need to file a Class-Action suit to Obtain that! These Ameriasians are taking the long way around the mountain! With todays technology and communications, they could ask Filipino Lawyer groups to file that Class-Action suit till justice is served! Hopefully they read this. Times are changing and they can make that change! Salamat🙏😎
I am a Veteran, I went to Angeles in the Philippines and married an Amerasian in 2022. I am disgusted by the men who go there and leave children for the women to raise or perhaps their son or daughter is abandoned as a street child. These children ARE people who deserve the love and care any child should have.
Thank you for your service, Sir!
If only the Americans can do what the Spanish gov't has done it would help some. The Spanish Gov't approved the " Ley memoria democratica" Its a law granting citizenship to grandchildren of Spanish citizens who were here in the Philippines. All you need is baptismal/birth cert. of your mom and your direct lineage. even if your father did not acknowledge you. Just the link.
Leah and Blair, May God bless you of want you are doing to help these forgotten kids.
come on USA get your act together and accept your own people. also stop that bullying. I hope I can help someone find their biological family.
I was in my teens and I saw this catastrophe. America should have shame.
I'm an amerasian myself and I'm proud of who i am. Just recently have a communication with my biological father and he wants us to go to the states and obtain a derivative citizenship through him. I'm not expecting too much on that, cause I'm already 55 years old and i don't know if that law on derivative still applied to those over the age of 18. Not looking forward for an approval for the US passport application, I'm happy to stay here.
Let us know what happens!
Help her pls
Absolutely disgusted with the US Government..they should be ashamed
Interesting, Regina strikes me as of Samoan descendant! I wish everyone the blessings of what you are searching for, best of lucks!!
Government needs to step up
She’s right I hope they recognize the Amerasian children
She has a point. I hope the US government or maybe a Senator can sponsor a bill so that they can come to the US and reunite with their siblings. If people who cross the borders were given a chance to live in the US, why can’t they when they’re obviously sons and daughters of US servicemen who served the country.
If not for DNA, most GI babies would not know their biological fathers if they were not acknowledged. So I hope the Philippine government appeal to this again to the US, this has been a long issue.
You are right Maam Regina...the American government should take a look on us amerisians, and i do believe we have the right to be recognize. Not just for me, but for the sake of my children as well. Thank you to Maam Leah and Blair Slog. I already had my DNA result through Maam Angela Simmons. Just waiting for my fathers response. Hopefully he will reach out 🙏💖
Good Luck. 🙏
The philippines has to leverage its geo-strategic relationship with the US to have these Ameriasian become US citizens...I blame the Philippines Government for not leveraging its strategic pivotal location vis-a-vis US-China relations in getting the US to grant them Citizenship ASAP...
Agreed
You two. This is such an outstanding video. I had no idea that children of Vietnamese / American soldiers being left behind were somewhat helped in Vietnam with education and obtaining a US passport. The children left behind by US servicemen in the Philippines do not have any advantages, and many are looked down upon. I'm doing a little bit more research on the video that you provided, and with your permission, I'd like to expand upon this just a little bit further and bring awareness to the situation. No interviews, just bringing the facts forward to the public. The hardships that a lot of these children have faced are because they're half-and-half. Whether we'd like to admit it or not, there is a stigma about skin color. There never should be, but I've mentioned in other videos that The people of the Philippines, although loving and kind, caring and giving are prejudiced against darker-skinned people. This is not a prejudice within myself; this is just a fact. Those of you who know my background or my history know better. Outstanding video, or should I say mini-docudrama of a news presentation. Job well done, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks Rob! 🇺🇲❤️🇵🇭
They need to shut down our border letting people who hate us and turn all that help to help the GI children in the Philippines
Trump was right.
Yes!
Thank you Leah and Blair for changing our lives keep up the good work ❤❤❤
This is true,reality of life..
This is sad story like in my case I had my DNA test last year unfortunately my dad passed away on December 2022 and I don't have an immediate family match but most of my dad's relatives are my matched from closest to distant,I have two siblings with my dad my dad's sister and brother don't want to reconnect mam kat Ann admin of amerisian group send them a letter but they don't respond..to the U.S government please hear our voice we are the living creatures that your american soldiers left behind..
So unfortunately sometimes here in the states becoming a citizen through serving the military isn't all caked up to be what people think. I heard of a story several years ago where a guy who was Mexican came here illegally, served in the military and still got deported back for whatever reason.
Hate to crush your dreams.You're better off in the Philippines. 3rd generation Americans are calling it quits moving overseas. The American Dream is over. This poor girl doesn't even know it.
Keep continue fighting my beloved 💝. You will soon find your biological parents. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
8:14 that’s frustrating letting others in but not amerinisians
Exactly!
Bravo ate I love your accent
I reached out to you guys. I'm in the Philippines now and I want to find my sister. From what my dad told me is that she is I think about 1 or 2 yrs older then me. I'm 59 so she would be about 61 or 62 now. My dad was stationed at Clark when he was in the US Navy late 50s and 60s I'm guessing. Can you guys help me out?
PM Leah May on our FB page. We are snowed under and it may take a few days. 👍
@@LeahandBlair ok thanks.....
It’s really hard for Blasian offspring in Asia. Philippines especially because the beauty standards is definitely geared towards more White/European. I can’t imagine the torment they went through. especially for how limited resources are in Philippines. They got treated like below the earth there 😢. If you look at all the Miss Philippines 99% are mixed with White
love watching your show
That’s so true mam 7:22
Hypocrisy of US saying how important fathers are yet not making it possible for children to be with their fathers!
I'm proud of being ameraisian, because I raised with the family that
Love me so much..and even I'm not their blood they treated me as their family ♥️
Yes ma'am.
These kids that were left behind must be given citizenship and fathers should be notified
Yes 😢 i hope they will help her move to the US and her kids too
You can ask your parents to pitch in , if they don't have it they don't have it. You didn't ask to be here, they brought you here so it is a responsibility not a favor.
Just my opinion.
Immigration is federal law so I don't think that one state can have one immigration rule while other states have different rules. Immigration law falls under federal law, therefore, it is uniform.
It is every state and region has a Circuit District Court. Which a judge may rule in different favor for Immigration cases. California is district 11. But CRBA for instance if no claim before 18th you can’t get it. And then after 21 for immigration if the father doesn’t petition then it’s hard for them to come to the states
@@TooHonest4_You I disagree with you my friend because the judges in those courts you're referring to have to follow federal guidelines not state guidelines. Federal laws have to be uniform, a state can an immigrant more state rights than the Fed but the immigrant has to be in the state, anybody immigrating to the USA has to abide by strict federal guidelines.
West coast state district courts for immigration matters is usually more liberal on cases if it goes through appeal process. Once a federal judge grants a decision USCIS field offices in that region follows guidance from that case outcome on future cases
Thanks for sharing this information.
She is automatically a US citizen by birth or child of a US citizen as long she can prove paternity through a US deceased father. She can still file for her US passport by providing her biological father birth certificate and DNA results through her US base siblings. Doesn’t matter if she applied before using information from her presumed father. If you’re a child born of a US citizen anywhere in the world, you automatically a US citizen if you can prove, and DNA is the easiest way.
After 18, US are very very very difficult in accepting cases.
Department of Foreign Affairs should be an advocate in helping these American children who have a birthright more than any other immigrant who are being accepted in the United States.
i loved watching your you tube channel God Bless you both!

Hay..i am Amerasians too..And I think that the American government for not giving help or support in my life and theirs all the time.. should apologize by opening the way and giving a new life in a country that claims The most humane...
Abortion should be legal in phillipines. As unwanted children should not born.if they born there should be proper justice for them
Waouh it is ignorance... in every wars there are always Children mix ed races.
She is really right.
I think that's the government rules same as Japanese children left behind in the Philippine．
The question is, what if the DNA results proved that you were a child of an American citizen. Could that be a big help in turning your life around and be a US citizen as well? Do America recognized you as their own and allow you to obtain US Passport and citizenship?
If you are human, you have to feel sadness for how some Amerasians were/are treated by people in their mother countries. However, such treatment was not necessarily the fault of the father, especially if he had no relationship with the mother other than a brief sexual encounter and probably did not even know that a child resulted. In such situations those children were not “left behind” by Americans and Americans were not responsible for the racism of the people in their mother country. It is like they are saying that their mother and her country do not count or have any responsibility and only the biological father is responsible. Why is that? Is the motivation of these children to escape racism, longing to know their father, or longing to get income from the father or US government?
They will face Racism in the US too. I mean it would be like other African Americans. Also it is true that the mothers and their country are also partly responsible for this problem. Basically parents who conceive these kids and let them suffer without being accepted and acknowledged are to be blamed.
yes kids need to know who
kagaya ng japan all half pilipino half japan. the government in japan nabibigay ng citizenship tinatawag na descendants. sana mayroong ganyan sa amireca
Hope my daughter also can find her father , american also u.s navy
Do the mothers not know who the fathers of their kids are? It seems so often the children are mistaken about whom their fathers are.
Filipino
ameresians were discriminated with the homecoming act.deprived of birthright from american father.we deserve respect too.
As much as I blame the fathers for abandoning their kids. Most of them didn’t know they had offspring. I think the mothers share a huge responsibility as well for placing their kids in that situation. Considering prostitution always been around everywhere for centuries. Then when you add military bases anywhere this is bound to happen. Birth control needs to be preached in the Philippines and I know it’s hard since it’s a Catholic country. And a lot of the women there assume if they have a kid with a foreigner the kids automatically citizens which is true in some ways but false. Filipino women or any women from any country just know if you intend to have a baby with US citizen being married before the birth of the child will make it easier for you to claim his or her CRBA. But out of wedlock your at mercy of the child father which most of the time they’re not cooperating. Just play it smart and practice safe sex. If you look at places like Amsterdam the Red Light district is regulated and ensures women have access to birth control. Regardless of military men or not, this will happen regardless you take young horny dudes out of their homeland and go overseas this will always happen
❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️😇🙏
They should be recognised as Americans…
Probably easier for them to go from the Mexico border.
Halo mam ĺeah and sir blair merun din po akong problema sa anak ko rin po airforce michican po ang ama nya.
Did they have all so a Facebook site
Yes search the name and it should come up, can't put the link here. 👍
I'm.would to find my father
Wish brother help me also ...😢😢😢😮
When the US doesn't take care of its responsibilities and obligations it will increasingly find itself isolated from the rest of the world. The US has had a long history of using other countries and then walking away when they either obtain what they want, or fail to. And now, here again, is the US government seeking to reestablish itself in the PI.
I feel so sorry for these people who have been used, but God will seek, and OBTAIN, his justice.
13:28 ridiculous teacher 😡
Wen have half filipino beauty contestants, and we have many half black americans and we know that they have good body builts, they might not discover their true talents. The half of their dna is african american who are excellent in sports or music look at black eye peas
Don't give up write a Letter to President Biden and tell your story
You can all write to the US Congressman or the US Senator of the State where your father and family come from I believe there may be away
I have tan skin and they still called me negra. Lol
But I hope you guys get what you guys deserves!
BTW, your parents should took care of your paperworks since birth!
That's my idol, Regina Jackson. If i were the US president right now? You don't have to say a word, I'll take all amerasian to LAC. Los Angeles City, pampanga hahahaha. Let the US government knows that they have to clean all this mess up!
Your slogs should be compulsory viewing for all service men and women! @POTUS
Amerisians are u.s. citizens
It's a terrible teacher.
When Filipinos go to Africa or western countries they're called Chinese or yellow skin people and I've witnessed it. Racism is all over the world and we cannot ignore that because it's normal. Just be proud of your ethnicity because we're fearfully and wonderfully made; through the image of God.
# One Love # chin-up shoulder out and continue to smile.
I agree this government sucks here in the United States
US Immigration laws are outdated since the INA was created in 1952. No congress want to make any major reforms from both sides of the aisle because no one in DC can get along.
It's a shame.
It's ashamed for US government
Australian kids too easy to get your citizenship and travel to Australia on Australian passport
This 2 me seems to be a Political Situation which the U.S makes it very hard for these people to get clarification on their search for closure, this is 🦘🇦🇺 calling
Gday Lyall. Thanks for commenting ✔️
Mainly the U.S. immigration laws change after every single major war. I wouldn’t call this political it’s more of proving legitimacy of the child. If the fathers aren’t claiming the kids the U.S. Government isn’t going to go off the word of people that doesn’t work. The father needs to prove paternity before the kid turns 18 or petition them before 21. DNA test has to be requested by embassy only and that’s if the father is in agreement with it. This is more of a moral and societal issue as a whole not US Government. If men are stepping up to the plate to child their kids can’t expect the Government to do it for them. My take on this
❤
