After a year of heartfelt dedication and hands-on learning, the Kalalawdan Fellowship under Project 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗨𝗦 has come to a meaningful close. This journey took us deep into the lives of local coastal communities, aboard a scientific cruise across Manila Bay, into the halls of the House of Representatives, and all the way to Australia for a rich maritime exchange visit.

Now, we’re excited to share the story of this fellowship in the form of a white paper, a reflection of every experience, lesson, and insight gathered along the way. Most importantly, this paper highlights the policy proposals developed by the Lawod fellows from various academic institutions and government agencies focusing on four policy research areas: 1) MSR Framework; 2) Institutionalization of NARFleet; 3) MPAs in WPS; and 4) Climate Change Impact, which provide innovative and proactive recommendations for the Philippine seas.

The proposals include the following title:

1. Charting the Course: National Framework for Advancing Marine Scientific Research (MSR) in the Philippines
2. Setting Sails: Institutionalizing the National Academic Research Fleet to Enhance the Role of Marine Scientific Research in Philippine Archipelagic Governance
3. Instituting NIPAS in the WPS: A Case for Establishing Offshore Marine Protected Areas in the Kalayaan Island Group
4. Science for Survival: Reaffirming Commitment to Science-Based and Participatory Climate Resilience and DRRM Planning through Legislative Oversight

Introducing the Angat Buhay Policy Toolkit for Environmental Governance! 🌱

We are excited to share this comprehensive resource designed to empower Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) leaders in driving meaningful and impactful environmental governance within their communities.

The toolkit builds on the principles and best practices shared during Angat Kalikasan: Young Leaders Convergence for Environmental Governance. It includes strategies for effective problem-solving, stakeholder management, policy creation, advocacy campaigning, and monitoring—practical tools to support SK leaders in creating sustainable solutions.

This initiative was made possible through the generous support of the Foundation for the Philippine Environment and in collaboration with Save Philippine Seas.
