Nine lawmakers from both the Senate and the House of Representatives are set to participate in the “Atin Ito West Philippine Sea (WPS) Pulong Bayan” on Monday, March 23, in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, where they will engage fisherfolk, frontliners, local government officials, and students in discussions on key issues surrounding the West Philippine Sea. Organized by Atin Ito, a civil society coalition behind three civilian supply missions to the contested waters, the day-long event aims to serve as a platform for multi-sectoral dialogue on national sovereignty, livelihoods, and regional security. Atin Ito co-convenor Rafaela David welcomed the participation of lawmakers across party lines, noting it reflects unity on issues concerning the West Philippine Sea.
