In a post he stated, “The first Boricua arrived 125 years ago from their native Puerto Rico to ‘work hard and play hard’ through the generations to some 45,000 throughout Hawaiʻi today. I was honored to participate in the Puerto Rican Heritage Festival in Mililani today to celebrate their rich culture”.
Later that same day, Case commented on an unexpected recognition at Honolulu International Airport (HNL). He posted on July 14, “Pleasant surprise at HNL redeying back to DC: they named a plane after me for record HNL-DC redeyes.”
On July 15, 2025, Case discussed international relations during a live broadcast with Allan Alvarez on KNDI Radio. As noted in his post, “I livestreamed w/ Allan Alvarez on KNDI Radio to talk our U.S.-Philippines relationship, foreign assistance as part of national security, immigration reform, tariffs and more. Mahalo!”
