The AFP-wide observance served as a powerful reminder that every Filipino soldier remains steadfast in defending the country's territorial integrity and maritime interests with honor, professionalism, and patriotism.

CAPTION: Marking 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 United Nation Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), evidence, and principled action. It protects coastal communities, livelihoods, and one of the world’s 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 rules‑based order benefits all nations.
