This is great news for those still living and probably scornful for those who have already left but still has surviving spouses. Something is better than nothing. On a personal note, my grandfather never accepted anything pensions etc, he was a WW2 veteran, He used to tell me he did it because of his duty to the country and not for anything else, that may sentimentality is impractical but I confess being an impractical man (sometimes)<\/p>\n

\nMANILA, Philippines<\/a> \u2014 Only living Filipino World War II<\/a> veterans will receive the lump sum payments from the United States<\/a>, the Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs section of the American embassy said Tuesday.
\n\u201cThe bill has not yet been signed into law. All we know is that only live Filipino veterans who served in World War II or who have military service<\/a> are entitled to [the payments], not their surviving spouse. That is our instruction from the central office,\u201d veterans\u2019 representative Kristine Parayno said in a phone interview with INQUIRER.net.
\nParayno said their office has not yet received the list of those who can avail of the payments of the procedures for filing claims.
\nThe US Congress<\/a> passed on Friday President Barack Obama<\/a>\u2019s $787-billion stimulus package, which included a $198-million allocation for the Filipino veterans.
\nThe bill, which is scheduled to be signed Tuesday in Denver<\/a>, would grant $9,000 to Filipino veterans living outside the US and $15,000 to those living there.
