Welcome to the official microsite of the Department of Foreign Affairs' celebration of Maritime and Archipelagic Nation Awareness Month (MANAMo) 2023.
This year's theme, "Kapuluan, Kabuluhan, Kaunlaran" (Archipelago, Significance, and Development), reflects the profound significance of our nation's maritime identity.
DFA adopts the sub-theme:
"Setting Sails Towards Sustainability:
Ocean Science for Archipelagic Philippines"
From the use of scientific data in the South China Sea Arbitration to the affirmation of our rights in the 2016 Arbitral Award, this theme underscores the importance of ocean science in securing the future of our maritime nation. Let us highlight the pivotal role of ocean science in advancing Philippine interests.
Join us in this collective endeavor to foster a deeper understanding, ignite a sense of pride, and forge lasting connections in our commitment to the preservation and prosperity of our maritime heritage. Welcome aboard, and may this microsite be the vessel that sails us through an inspiring Maritime and Archipelagic Nation Awareness Month.
