The West Philippine Sea Symposium continues its advocacy in Western Visayas, bringing important discussions to the John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University โ Arevalo, Inc. in Iloilo City this April 4, 2025. Organized by the Philippine Information Agency, the Philippine Coast Guard, and the National Youth Commission, this initiative seeks to deepen youth awareness on the WPS issue and inspire them to be advocates of nationalism and sovereignty.

Following a successful engagement at the University of Antique yesterday, students in Iloilo are now taking part in conversations on how maritime security impacts food supply, economic stability, and national integrity. Their active participation reflects the growing concern and commitment of young Filipinos in standing up for the countryโs rightful claims.


As the symposium progresses, the call to protect the West Philippine Sea grows stronger. The youthโs involvement in this advocacy is crucial in ensuring a future where the nationโs sovereignty is upheld. Dahil sa West Philippine Sea, ang yaman nito ay para sa Pilipino!
