The government issued Proclamation No. 316 (s. 2017) declaring September of every year as the Maritime and Archipelagic National Awareness Month (MANA Mo). The celebration is a platform that synchronizes the celebration of all maritime-related events and activities in a single month to achieve a sense of unity and pride among Filipinos in addressing the threats to the coastal and marine environment toward preserving the Philippine maritime heritage.
