PH Independence Day rites to be held at Trump Hotel in DC

This year’s Independence Day celebration on June 12 will be held at the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC, a go-to establishment favored by foreign delegations from Brazil to Turkey and lobbyists seeking to build ties with the Trump administration.

No doubt this is all thanks to our new Ambassador Jose Manuel ‘Babe’ Romualdez.

He assumed his post less than five months ago and has literally “hit the ground running”

Since President Trump was sworn into office on Jan. 20, 2017 the hotel has emerged as a Mecca for those seeking to rub elbows with administration insiders. Many foreign embassies have held their national day celebrations at the hotel.

Invitations to the two-hour, Independence Day reception at Trump International were emailed by the Philippine Embassy to invitees on April 17 with a hard copy of the invitation to follow.
