What’s up with the motorcade with police escort of white SUV’s that have both American and Filipino flags?

I was on the corner of Massard and Zero today when a motorcade with police escort passed by. They had their lights on and everyone went to the side of the road (as is the norm). There were three white SUV’s with both American and Filipino flags on them. I was kinda surprised when I saw the filipino flag because I have never heard of anything special that would connect our city to the Philippines.

Why in the world would someone notable from the Philippines be in Fort Smith? My only idea would be they were visiting the air national guard or something, but why were they heading down Massard past Zero? My only ideas would be that they are either visiting the medical school or maybe they were late for their reservation at Stonehouse or something. Maybe they just wanted to check out the firehouse or maybe even go check out the Arc Best campus.

Am I missing something? Is there some special Manila-Fort Smith relationship that I don’t know about? Can someone with a little more info than me let me know what’s going on?
