The keynote speaker, US Representative Ed Royce (R), Chairman of House Foreign Affairs Committee, is a champion, a hero and a brother to the Filipino-Americans. He has been helping the victims of land abuses in the Philippines, particularly, land grabbing and land locking. He has asked President Aquino and several Cabinet Secretaries to enforce the Rule of Law and the Respect of Property Rights which is essential to attain the vision of President Aquino which is to remove the negative image of the Philippines as the Sick Man of Asia and transform to the Next Tiger of Asia.

    US Representative Maxine Waters (D), Ranking Member of House Financial Services Committee will also help stop the land abuses in the Philippines.
