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 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.

In commemoration of this milestone, Regional Training Center (RTC) Palawan, led by CAPT ELAINE R PANGILINAN PCG, participated in the Simultaneous Flag Raising Ceremony commemorating the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award. The ceremony was held on 6 July 2026 at Regional Training Center Palawan, Purok Base, Brgy, Punta Baja, Rizal, Palawan.

In commemorating the 2016 Arbitral Award, RTC Palawan reaffirms its dedication to instilling patriotism, professionalism, and respect for international law among its trainees. Through quality education, rigorous training, and values-based leadership, the Center continues to prepare Coast Guard personnel to safeguard the country's maritime domain, support maritime security, and contribute to the protection of the Philippines' sovereign rights for the benefit of present and future generations of Filipinos.
