Laguna. Just finished a series of FGDs with candid locals about trust. Many lessons about why people trust, what breaks trust, and why trust is ‘such a lonely word’. ❤️🩹🥹

FACTS Asia, in partnership with Amador Research Services, Foundation for the National Interest, Waypoints Project, Jose Rizal University, FES Philippines, and the British Embassy Manila is organizing an event titled “Responding to the Evolving Security Dynamics in the South China Sea: Bolstering the Philippines’ Maritime Security”.
The event aims to explore the Philippines’ maritime security amidst changing dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region. As littoral states, the Philippines maneuvers through heightening tensions brought forth by the interplay of great power competition, territorial disputes, competing interests, and various defense and security arrangements in the region, the event will delve into possible partnerships and reforms the Philippines can pursue in bolstering its maritime security and governance.

JUST IN: In light of Faculty Day, faculty members from the Higher Education Cluster (HEC) released an open letter to the University administration, reiterating their call for "genuine and meaningful dialogue between administrators and faculty." As of 6:07 PM, 287 faculty members have signed the open letter.
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) strongly condemns the China Coast Guard's (CCG's) dangerous maneuvers and illegal use of water cannons against the PCG vessels escorting the indigenous boats chartered by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yesterday, 5 August 2023. These boats were delivering food, water, fuel and other supplies to our military troops stationed on BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal. Such actions by the CCG not only disregarded the safety of the PCG crew and the supply boats but also violated international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the 1972 Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
The @coastguardph calls on the China Coast Guard to restrain its forces, respect the sovereign rights of the Philippines in its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, refrain from hampering freedom of navigation, and take appropriate actions against the individuals involved in this unlawful incident. We ask that China Coast Guard, as an organization with a responsibility to observe state obligations under UNCLOS, COLREGs, and other relevant instruments of international maritime safety and security, to cease all illegal activities within the maritime zones of the Philippines.
