Declared under Presidential Proclamation No. 1265, s. 2026, the observance calls on government agencies, local government units, the private sector, and civil society to support and partake in the commemoration.

Established on June 11, 1901 through Act No. 136 of the Philippine Commission, the Supreme Court has stood as a pillar of justice—first led by Chief Justice Cayetano Arellano.

In line with this milestone year, the Court unveils a series of activities under the theme: “SC: 125 Years of Tradition and Innovation.”

Stay tuned for updates through the official social media channels of the Supreme Court.

The Legal Education Board joins the observance of Pride Month in recognizing the value of diversity in strengthening communities and enriching learning environments. The Board remains steadfast in promoting legal education anchored on integrity, respect, fairness, and the shared pursuit of justice for all, while fostering a culture that upholds dignity, inclusion, and equal respect for every individual.
