๐๐๐๐ | The Official Logo the 10th Anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award bearing the theme "Dekada ng Batas, Hindi Dahas (A Decade of Law, Not Force)."
Marking a decade of victory through law, not force. The July 12, 2016 Arbitral Award affirmed that the Philippines can defend its maritime rights peacefullyโthrough 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 rulesโbased order benefits all nations.
