Around 250 fisherfolk from Zambales province in the Philippines will hold a sea action this Sunday to mark the upcoming 10th anniversary of the 2016 arbitral ruling favoring the Philippines in its dispute over the West Philippine Sea. Organized by the Atin Ito Coalition, the week-long commemoration begins with this symbolic protest. The action aims to highlight the continued challenges faced by Filipino fisherfolk in accessing traditional fishing grounds. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of the international ruling, which China refuses to acknowledge. The protest emphasizes the need for the Philippine government to defend its sovereign rights. Organizers hope the event will raise awareness and garner support for protecting the nation’s maritime interests.
