'𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙖? 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙊𝙪𝙧𝙨!’ — 𝙏𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣 𝙉𝙃𝙎 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝟭𝟬𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙

Driven by a burning love for the country and a firm defense of Philippine sovereignty, the students from Grades 7 to 12 along with the faculty and staff of Tapapan National High School (Tapapan NHS) courageously joined the historic Simultaneous Flag Raising Ceremony on Monday, July 6, 2026 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award.

Anchored on the theme "Karagatan ng Karapatan" (Ocean of Rights), instead of reading the traditional script, the entire school gathered to watch a meaningful video, which was then eagerly explained by a Social Studies teacher using their local dialect; this was done to ensure that the message would deeply resonate with and be easily understood by the youth regarding the importance of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) as a shield protecting our waters, local livelihoods, and the food security of every Filipino family.

Tapapan NHS reaffirmed its unwavering pledge to stand united as one nation to uphold the rights gained under the 2016 Arbitral Award, leaving a profound mark on the students that every single drop of our ocean is a treasure of the Philippines that will be fought for today, tomorrow, and forever for the generations to come.

Police personnel Larry Laklaken served as the resource speaker and discussed issues that commonly affect young people. He explained the different forms of bullying—physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying—and emphasized their harmful effects on a person's physical, emotional, and mental well-being. He encouraged students to support victims, report bullying incidents to trusted adults, and treat others with respect.

"Respect begins with ourselves," Laklaken reminded the students during the lecture.

The lecture also tackled Republic Act No. 11313, or the Safe Spaces Act (Anti-Bastos Act of 2019), which protects individuals from gender-based sexual harassment in public places, schools, workplaces, public utility vehicles, public markets, and online platforms. Students learned about prohibited acts such as catcalling, offensive gestures, cyberstalking, and other forms of verbal, visual, physical, and online harassment.

Another topic discussed was the difference between theft and robbery. Laklaken explained that theft involves taking another person's property without force or intimidation, while robbery involves the use of force, violence, or intimidation. He reminded students that both offenses are punishable under Philippine law and stressed the importance of respecting the rights and property of others.

The said activity is a part of the continuing partnership between Tapapan National High School and the Bauko Municipal Police Station to strengthen students' legal awareness, personal safety, and moral responsibility.

The program concluded with a reminder for learners to practice respect, discipline, and responsible behavior in school, at home, and in the community.
