In a heartfelt exchange with ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ and ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐, our educators expressed their passion for bringing these stories โ and the history of the WPS โ into their classrooms. They suggested updating the school curriculum to strengthen maritime awareness among the youth and shared their hope that this film will be screened in more cinemas nationwide so more students can witness its powerful message.
Because the fight for the West Philippine Sea begins with awareness and education โ and you, our teachers, are on the frontlines.
