On August 20, 2026 the ๐๐จ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฆ-๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ ๐ข๐ฟ๐ด๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป joined Alyansaโs online lecture, โ๐๐๐ญ๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐: ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐, ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ,โ featuring Prof. Cielo Magno and Atty. Dante Gatmaytan.
The discussion unpacked ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐, a U.S. led initiative launched in 2025 that seeks to strengthen supply chains for artificial intelligence, semiconductors, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Beyond its promise of investment, innovation, and jobs, the lecture examined what its implementation could mean for land, water, natural resources, environmental protection, farmers, Indigenous communities, governance, laws, and the Philippine economy.
For ๐๐ช๐ข๐จ๐จ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ, understanding issues like Pax Silica means looking beyond headlines and asking who benefits, who carries the risks, and whose voices are included in decisions that shape our future.
This dialogue reflects our ๐ผ๐ช๐๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฃ ๐ซ๐๐ก๐ช๐๐จ of ๐ง๐ฟ๐๐๐ต, ๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐. We seek the ๐ง๐ฟ๐๐๐ต by questioning claims and examining realities. We uphold ๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ by recognizing whose rights and interests stand at stake. And we practice ๐ฆ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ by listening to communities whose lives may change through decisions made far beyond their own homes.
The experience also connects with our ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฟ๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐ค๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐๐ก๐จ ๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐ญ๐ฏ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ญ๐ฐ by encouraging us to become more aware of social and environmental issues, engage in meaningful discussions, and grow into students who can think critically and participate responsibly in society.
