Crecencia Drucila Lopez Senior High School led by our School Head ,Sir Glenn A. Toledo is one with the nation as it commemorates the Arbitral Award won by the Philippines and reaffirm the Government's commitment to upholding the rule of law, sovereignty, sovereign rights, jurisdiction, and lawful maritime entitlements though the Simultaneous Flag Raising Ceremony on July 6, 2026, organized by the the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea
Sir Rowell P. Corcega, Assistant Principal for Curriculum Development, discussed to our Learners, Faculty and Staff the important role of our brave servicemen and women, our dedicated public servants, our resilient fishermen, and every Filipino who continues to stand watch over and defend our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea.
Today 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 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 is clear: principles matter, lawful action matters, and a ruleโbased order benefits all nations.
