Quezon City University (QCU) recently hosted TRIB-YOUTH para sa West Philippine Sea (WPS) 2024, an advocacy event aimed at increasing youth awareness of maritime heritage, environmental protection, and national responsibility.
Organized by the 7th Civil Relations Group of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the inaugural gathering carried the theme “Our Seas, Our Rights, Our Future.” The event brought together students and youth advocates to discuss the importance of safeguarding the West Philippine Sea and preserving the country’s maritime resources for future generations.
Held at the QCU campus, the program featured a variety of performances showcasing music, theater, dance, and spoken-word presentations. Through creative expression, participants highlighted key issues surrounding Philippine sovereignty, environmental stewardship, and national unity.
Beyond serving as a cultural event, TRIB-YOUTH para sa WPS 2024 encouraged students to become active advocates for marine conservation and responsible citizenship. Organizers emphasized the role of young people in protecting the nation’s maritime heritage and promoting sustainable practices that contribute to environmental preservation.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to strengthen youth engagement in issues affecting the country’s territorial waters and natural resources. Participants left the event with a renewed understanding of the importance of collective action, resilience, and unity in addressing maritime and environmental challenges.
