Mr. Samuel Akahiji, who has been stateless in the Philippines for a long time, has acquired Japanese Nationality

Mr. Samuel Akahiji, who has been stateless in the Philippines for a long time, was able to visit Okinawa last December to look for his relatives after going through the “statelessness recognition” process in the Philippines, with the support of many people in both Japan and the Philippines. With this as a big impetus he acquired Japanese nationality last week.
 
The Embassy of Japan in the Philippines is determined to continue to do everything possible to assist in resolving the issue of the “remaining Japanese” or “2^nd Generation Nikkei-jin”.
