The Filipino Shipmates monument, located along Waterfront Road, Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ), was inaugurated on Wednesday, January 14, 2026. Led by the United States Sailors Alliance of the Philippines (USSAP), the monument was built to symbolize the dedication of Filipino sailors who were recruited by the United States between 1901 and 1991 in the Philippines. According to the USSAP, over 35,000 Filipinos were recruited through centers like the US naval bases at Subic Bay and Sangley Point during this period, leaving a significant legacy of service.
