New York City, one of the most diverse cities in the United States, has long had a mutually beneficial relationship with its immigrant population.

Legally or otherwise, Filipinos are among the largest immigrant groups in the United States.
Last year, Filipinos were the third largest nationality group that acquired U.S. citizenship and the fourth biggest that were issued legal permanent resident (LPR) status, or what is more popularly known as green card, by the United States.
