the first glaring red flag about this whole thing is that the U.S. is willing to offshore ai hub operations because they don't want to deal with any more environmental repercussion they bring to their own country. this should be good enough reason. #NoToPaxSilica
payag kayo na may gagamiting tubig para sa ai facilities ng mga kano sa sarili nating lupain, pero walang maayos na irigasyon para sa mga palayan ng mga pilipinong magsasaka na patulay na nag papatakbo ng produskyon ng mga hinahaing pagkain sa hapag kainan ng bawat pilipino?
I am speaking to you now from the northern Gaza Strip.
The bombing does not stop, the shooting is constant, the killing and bloodshed continues.
Who told you that the genocide in Gaza has ended?!
notice how it doesn't directly address the issue of environmental destruction and cites the "law" instead. the denr is a corrupt entity and our environmental regulation laws are basically meaningless because they can let corporations get away with whatever they want
tbh I get kinda emotional seeing how wide the reach of "shut pax silica down" campaign is, seeing several youth orgs all over the country and even millenial content creators voice against it. all we need to do left is to MOBILIZE. get warm bodies on the streets—SHUT THE PAX DOWN.
Funny nung “must comply with the Ph environmental laws and regulations” E NAKALUSOT NGA SA DENR YUNG PAGPUTOL NG PUNO PARA SA SAN MIGUEL PROJECT, yan pa kaya???
Tangina pag napush yang Pax Silica na yan mas tataas ata tubig at kuryente natin, tapos masisira pa natural resources. Tanginang gobyernong to saka tangina ng US.
Also, blatant lie na gagamit sila ng recycled water pls. They would NEVER. These machines will rely on OUR source of drinkable water lang. Ayaw nila malagyan ng sediments mga hardware niya. Huwag na huwag kayong maniniwala sa BCDA about sa magiging water usage.
one of the reasons Gen Z is so unafraid in protests is because they don’t have a future to be excited about. Housing is unaffordable, Currency converts to peanuts, education giving diminishing returns….
BCDA ON ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS IN PAX SILICA
Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) President and CEO Joshua Bingcang addressed environmental concerns in the Pax Silica project.
“Bagamat 1,600 hectares po ‘yan pero under our masterplan, kailangan at least 40 percent ay open space… Magkakaroon tayo ng sustainable water management po d’yan at itong clean and green energy,” he said on Thursday.
“Sabi ang Pax Silica project baka ubusin ang tubig because of the data centers na ilalagay. Maaring mag-invite tayo ng data center but it’s not all about data center… Ang target namin d’yan ay surface water harvesting. Ang ibig sabihin niyan, lalo na po ngayon papasok na po ang rainy season, huge amount volume of rainwater dumadapo po d’yan,” he added. (Screenshots/RTVM)
