I am grateful to Argentina, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Council of Europe, Czechia, Ecuador, European Union, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Thailand, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam for keeping Ukraine in the focus of global attention. Every gesture of support matters. We appreciate that on the 35th anniversary of the restoration of our country’s independence, you were thinking of Ukraine and Ukrainians.
I think we spend too much time worrying about what could go wrong and not enough time believing something wonderful could happen. The future is still unwritten. Things can change, new opportunities can appear and life can become better in ways you never expected. Leave room for life to surprise you.

The week-long celebration of the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Arbitral Award kicked off yesterday with the WPS Mural Festival. Remarkably, more than 220 mural entries were completed from Luzon to Mindanao.
This shows that Filipino awareness of the West Philippine Sea is at an all-time high, regardless of where they live or what politics they support. It also proves that the WPS conversation is no longer confined to the security sector. Every Filipino, whatever their profession or background, has a place in this conversation.
Our people have come to understand that the fight for the West Philippine Sea is a fight for all of us, and one we must carry on for future generations of Filipinos.
As Secretary Gilbert Teodoro aptly put it: “The West Philippine Sea belongs not only to us but to future generations of Filipinos. We have a sacred obligation to protect it, preserve it, and use it to help build a stronger and more resilient Philippines.”
