Honoring our traditions, week after week. Hereโs a look back at our morning raisings and afternoon lowerings over the past few weeks. From the early morning sun to the end of the school day, thank you to our students and teachers for showing up with pride and dedication.
As we raise our flag, we also look back on a historic milestone in our nation's story. This month marks a decade of victory through law, not force. The July 12, 2016 Arbitral Award affirmed that the Philippines can defend its maritime rights peacefully, through the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), evidence, and principled action. It protects coastal communities, livelihoods, and one of the worldโs richest marine environments, reminding us that sovereignty is also about food security and future opportunities for every Filipino family. Ten years on, its message remains clear: principles matter, lawful action matters, and a rulesโbased order benefits all nations.
