Approximately 250 fishermen from Zambales conducted a symbolic sea action early Sunday morning. This event marks the beginning of a week-long commemoration of the Philippines' landmark 2016 arbitral victory. The participants gathered along the shoreline before sunrise to prepare their boats for the action. The activity serves as a reminder of the legal victory regarding the West Philippine Sea. By taking to the water, the fisherfolk emphasize their connection to the disputed territory. The event highlights ongoing efforts to assert maritime rights. It sets the tone for the subsequent anniversary celebrations and reflections.
