MANILA, Philippines — Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. is the keynote speaker for Manila-based Stratbase’s annual high-level conference to commemorate the landmark 2016 Arbitral Award.

The day-long conference includes panels with the country’s top security and defense officials, ambassadors of like-minded nations, and civic society leaders.

On July 12, 2016, an arbitral tribunal handed a victory to the Philippines in its challenge against China’s sweeping claims over the South China Sea, harassment towards Philippine vessels, and its rapid island-building in the South China Sea. – Rappler.com
