Lopez Jaena Elementary School continues to foster a learning environment where learners actively participate in meaningful school activities, teachers exemplify dedication through 100% attendance, and the entire school community works together to maintain a clean, safe, and orderly campus. These daily practices reflect our commitment to nurturing responsible, disciplined, and peace-loving learners who embody the core values of respect, unity, patriotism, and concern for the common good.
On Monday, Maβam Marissa Rublico, a newly transferred teacher serving as a relief teacher, led the Flag-Raising Ceremony at Lopez Jaena Elementary School. The activity was actively supported by School Principal Heide D. Lumayno, whose leadership and active involvement continue to inspire teachers and learners in promoting excellence, unity, and a culture of peace within the school community.
In observance of the 10th Anniversary of the July 12, 2016 Arbitral Award, our school joins the nation in reaffirming the importance of resolving differences through peaceful and lawful means, upholding justice, and promoting a rules-based international order.
Marking a decade of victory through law, not force. The July 12, 2016 Arbitral Award affirmed that the Philippines can defend its maritime rights peacefully, through UNCLOS, evidence, and principled action. It protects coastal communities, livelihoods, and one of the worldβs richest marine environments, reminding us that sovereignty is also about food security and future opportunities for every Filipino family. Ten years on, its message is clear: principles matter, lawful action matters, and a rules-based order benefits all nations.
