JerryNRea Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I joined the American Association of the Philippines July, 2nd during the Independence Day Celebration. I've attempted to contact them about activities but have had little response, very little. Is anyone familiar with this organization and have had dealings with them??? I hope I didn't waste $55.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogo51 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 No can't help you, but seems as though you may have made a 'donation' to a needy cause -them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tukaram (Tim) Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I joined them in Iloilo a couple years ago. There were no activities, other than a christmas party and a 4th of July party. I never renewed for a second year. They said they did lots of charity work... not the year I was with them. Not sure where you are. It might be different there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryNRea Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 I went to their office to discuss their organization and the opportunities they provide. They are totally worthless!!! With the Philippines turning itself around and becoming a first rate country, Americans like us need to have an organization to exchange ideas and share activities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJReyes Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Your annual membership fee helps pay for lobbying and administrative costs. This type of organization exists to protect American interest, usually those of big business and large corporations. If you are seeking for social activities and networks, chose another one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
