A copy of the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" that was signed by US Pres. Barack Obama was presented to Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in MalacaƱang today. Also known as the Stimulus Package Bill, a special provision was included in granting benefits to the Filipino WWII veterans amounting to 198 million dollars. With the passage of this bill, the 60 years struggle endured by surviving veterans in US military service was recognized.
