On July 12, 2016, an arbitral tribunal in The Hague handed the Philippines a landmark legal victory under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, rejecting the historical basis for China's sweeping claims in the South China Sea.

As the Philippines marks the ruling's 10th anniversary, Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro reaffirmed that the award is final and legally binding.

Solicitor General Darlene Berberabe said the legal protections secured by the decision will outlast any administration. | @TristanNodalo

Every Filipino, including the faithfuls of Iglesia Ni Cristo, has the right to protest. But the rest of us also have the right to ask: why would a religious organization stand in defense of someone who has admitted to receiving large sums of money from private individuals while serving as a public official? On his own, and unprovoked, Senator Marcoleta has publicly and personally admitted to it. No faith, whatever the religion may be, should be used to shield corruption or place anyone above accountability and the rule of law.

May pananagutan sa ilalim ng batas, at mahalagang maituwid ang maling paniniwala na kapag menor de edad ay wala nang accountability.

The decision to expose the illegal presence of the People’s Republic of China’s floating, movable platform is not only about being transparent with the Filipino people and countering China’s lies.

It is also meant to inform the international community, like-minded states, and our allies and friends that China is once again violating UNCLOS, undermining the rules-based order, and jeopardizing the peace and prosperity of this region.

Because if we choose to stay silent — if we choose to look away from such unlawful acts — we only embolden the bully, convincing it that it can do whatever it pleases simply because it has the military and economic might to silence the rest of us.

But the Philippines will not be silenced. We choose to stand up to bullies!

JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT

We strongly condemn what appears to be an attempt to rush a major change in the Senate Rules, especially when several members of the minority still wanted to speak and raise serious questions on the floor.

Bakit kailangang madaliin? Bakit kailangang pigilan ang mga gustong magsalita? Bakit kailangang i-divide ang house kung marami pang senador ang nagtatanong tungkol sa proseso?

Minamadali ba ang rule change na ito dahil gusto nilang maka boto si Senator Bato? At ngayong may mga ulat na may mga majority senators na maaaring arestuhin?

We walked out because what happened on the floor looked less like orderly deliberation. The proposed rule change affects how senators may attend sessions, participate in proceedings and exercise their mandate through remote means, and such a measure should be opened to healthy public debate instead of being rushed by the tyranny of the majority.

We have always welcomed healthy discussions on the floor, but this should mean allowing all members to be heard, not forcing the chamber to move at the speed preferred by the majority.

At the time the motion was taken up, there was no duly constituted Committee on Rules and there was not even an elected Majority Leader who could properly guide a rules amendment through the regular process.

How could there have been any action or discussion before the Committee on Rules when no Committee on Rules has been organized to date?

With due respect, the answer that no Senate rule had been violated does not settle the matter, because the rules cannot be treated as a matter of convenience when the very process for amending them is under serious question.

The timing raises a question that the public deserves to hear debated openly. Kaya pinili naming tumayo at iwan ang majority sa plenary. Kaya kami nagdesisyon to question the quorum and call for adjournment.

If the proposal is truly defensible, then let it pass through the proper route.

We owe it to the people who voted for us to do our mandate. This is why we want more time to discuss this further.
