I doubt Sumulong was Jewish.

What led to the ruckus at the UN?

Senator Lorenzo Sumulong, head of the Philippine delegation, had expressed astonishment that Khrushchev was concerned about Western imperialism when the Soviet Union had so forcefully exerted its own influence over the whole of Eastern Europe.

Nikita Sergeyevich was furious at Sumulong. When he finally had a chance to speak, he called the Filipino a few choice names. Translated from the Russian, the language which he spoke during the incident, he referred to Sumulong as “ a jerk, a stooge and a lackey of imperialism.”

Then ... he underscored his words by banging his shoe on the UN desk.
