Palo, Leyte, PhilippinesPalo, our oldest Sister City, is on the beautiful Philippine island of Leyte and includes 33 outlying villages. Palo and Palo Alto have been sister cities since 1963. Palo is well known as the site of the 1944 landing of General MacArthur and the Allied troops that launched the liberation of the Philippines during World War II. For decades, thanks to generous donations from the Palo Alto and broader Silicon Valley community, Neighbors Abroad has been able to sponsor a host of impactful, often life-changing projects for and with our Palo family, including:
|
The Palo Scholars Program
|
The Children's Library is one of Neighbor Abroad's most enduring contributions to the Palo community.
|
A Palo Alto delegation had the honor of marching in a town parade in 2022.

The 2022 delegation members, all wearing the traditional Barong Tagalog, with members of the Giants Organization, a non-profit Neighbors Abroad has supported for many years.
