Pinoy Aksyon calls on all Filipino people to stand up against all forms of foreign aggression as it undermines Philippine sovereignty and threatens our country’s territorial integrity.

Pinoy Aksyon (Pilipino Aksyon for Governance and the Environment), a volunteer-run non-profit organization mount an exhibit called “Not One Inch: Our Seas, Our Hope.” The exhibit will run from Nov. 13 to 23 (except Nov. 19), at Robinsons Galleria Activity Center, Level 1 Atrium. It will showcase photos, videos, and other narratives of the fisherfolk of the coastal community of Masinloc, Zambales—one of the communities benefiting from the waters of the WPS, the unique biodiversity under the sea, a timeline that explains the history of WPS from pre-colonial times to the present, a “tunnel,” and many more.

JM Lastimoso, Senior Research Associate from UP MSI, gave a short talk during the opening of “Not One Inch: Our Seas, Our Hope, History and Perspectives Interactive Exhibit”, he shared the importance of marine biodiversity in the WPS and why people should care about it, emphasizing its support for reef replenishment, food supply, and livelihood. He also highlighted that the WPS is not simply a geographical entity but a “vital and inseparable part of every Filipino”.

One of the highlights of the “Not One Inch: Our Seas, Our Hope” exhibit is a map showing the distance of islands in the West Philippine Sea from the Philippines, underscoring the proximity of these islands to our country, and providing context to the 2016 arbitral case at The Hague Tribunal which the Philippines won.

The exhibit also showcase photos, videos, and other narratives of real fisherfolk from the coastal community of Masinloc, Zambales—one of the communities benefiting from the waters of the WPS.
