In his message, Undersecretary Vasquez emphasized the Philippines\u2019 unwavering commitment to the principles of human dignity and protection, reaffirming the country\u2019s inclusive stance toward all who seek safety within its borders. He acknowledged the work of the Inter-Agency Committee in advancing rights-based and coordinated responses to vulnerable populations, as institutionalized under Executive Order No. 163, s. 2022.<\/span><\/p>

He also commended the efforts of government agencies in translating policy into meaningful action, including the provision of legal assistance, health care, education, and social protection. Finally, he called on all government offices, civil society organizations, and the public to support National Refugee Day and uphold the Philippines\u2019 role as a beacon of hope and humanity for those seeking refuge.<\/span><\/p>

This year\u2019s theme, \u201cStrengthening Spaces of Resilience and Hope,\u201d adopted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Philippines and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), highlights the importance of building environments where displaced individuals are safe, supported, and empowered to rebuild their lives with dignity. The Philippines continues to uphold these principles by promoting protection and inclusion for all, regardless of race, belief, or background.
