# List of ambassadors of the United States to the Philippines

The Ambassador of the United States of America to the Republic of the Philippines (Filipino: Sugo ng Estados Unidos ng Amerika sa Republika ng Pilipinas) was established on July 4, 1946, after the Philippines gained its independence from the United States, as successor of the High Commissioner to the Philippines (the last high commissioner became the first ambassador).
The ambassador to the Philippines has also been accredited to the Republic of Palau since 1996. The ambassador works at the Embassy of the United States in Manila along Roxas Boulevard and holds residence in Forbes Park in Makati. The ambassador also has a summer residence in Baguio, The American Residence.
The next US ambassador to the Philippines is predicted to be Mr Richard Conrad based on reports from trusted sources from the Honch.
