“I confirmed our office has exhausted the options available.” Yet Chris Kemps daughter remains in the Philippines because the U.S. hasn't accepted their accession into the Hague Abduction Treaty. That is how Senator Rosen’s office closed Christopher’s casework. Closing a constituent case file may conclude one administrative process. It does not resolve the international policy issues that brought the constituent to Congress.

U.S. Ambassador Lee Lipton marked 75 years of the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty today and called our countries' friendship "a bond between our peoples that grows stronger every day." We agree, and we're asking that this bond include the children of both countries. One treaty between the U.S. and the Philippines is still unfinished. The Philippines joined the Hague Abduction Convention in 2016, but the U.S. has never accepted it. The State Department's own report counted 16 American children in open abduction cases in the Philippines at the end of 2025, and none were resolved that year. One of them is Zuri, the daughter of our founder, retired Marine Major Chris Kemp. With President Trump expected in Manila for the ASEAN Summit, November 16 to 18, we're asking for four things: publish the roadmap to acceptance, raise the Hague gap in Manila, create interim relief for families now, and report progress publicly. #PaperAirplaneMovement #HagueConvention #CloseTheGap #ASEAN2026 #LeftBehindParent @ASEAN @USEmbassyPH @WhiteHouse @bongbongmarcos @opgovph
