Hi guys! dropping by to share what’s on my mind. I’m not here to change nor dispel ur perception of me, but I am asking for a little bit of grace.

For months, I took all the lashings and never said a word cos I’m a firm believer that you should always let your work speak for u.

Hindi paba kayo galit?

Relief goods can help families survive after a disaster, but they are not a long-term solution.

It is heartbreaking to see people suffer from the same floods over and over again. People deserve more than aid after losing their homes and livelihoods, they deserve proper drainage, effective flood control, and real solutions that will keep their communities safe.

Hindi dapat puro ayuda pagkatapos ng baha. We need lasting solutions so no family has to suffer and lose everything again and again.

Failed public transport, failed people, failed flood control, failed government

Failed state.

Philippines.

[Bianca Gonzalez Intal @iamsuperbianca]

TAMA NA ang band aid, short term, temporary fixes sa tag-ulan. DESERVE NG PILIPINO NG EFFECTIVE LONG TERM SOLUTIONS. Flood control, mass public transport, good governance, atbp. Taun taon nalang ganito. Bakit sa mga katabi nating bansa, kaya naman, eh dito, parang mas lumalala?

NO to PAX SILICA
We do NOT need Data Centers, we need Health Centers
We do not need AI
We need public libraries
We do not need buildings, we need farmlands
And we do not need possible jobs, we need the farmers to have their farms.
And NO, you can't have our water.

Capas-born actor Brent Manalo has doubled down on his opposition to the proposed Pax Silica initiative, emphasizing that his identity as a native of Tarlac compelled him to speak out and protect his home province.

Reflecting on his decision to raise awareness, the actor revealed that he immediately took the time to research the project after first learning about it a couple of weeks ago. While acknowledging that the development comes with possible benefits, he ultimately found that the risks far exceed the advantages.

"Ako syempre, Tarlaqueño talaga ako, so once narinig ko 'to, I think a couple of weeks ago ko siya unang nalaman, I really did my research. May mga pros siya, but then, I think the pros were outweighed by the cons," Manalo shared with radar Entertainment during the media launch of his stage play “The Art of Breaking Up,” which is slated in November. 

For the actor, raising his voice against the project is both a civic duty and a personal responsibility to safeguard Tarlac's natural beauty and agricultural heritage from potential harm.

"As a Tarlaqueño, you have to use your voice. It’s such a beautiful province na pwedeng masira because of this project. So I think I have to do my part as a Filipino and as a Tarlakenyo," he added.

Manalo’s recent remarks come after his earlier post on X, where he flagged possible displacement among agricultural workers tied to the planned 1.6k-hectare AI and tech hub in New Clark City. The project is part of a US-led initiative that aims to build a “secure” and “innovation-driven” silicon and nickel supply chain—an area where the Philippines plays a major role, accounting for 95 percent of global nickel ore exports, based on 2025 data from the Philippine Nickel Industry Association.

He pointed out that Tarlac has long depended on agriculture, and raised concerns that farmers could lose not just their land, but their main source of income. For him, the bigger question is simple: are these kinds of developments worth the cost?

His stance echoes concerns from various groups, including environmental advocates, civil society organizations, and farmers, who have been sounding the alarm over possible land displacement, environmental damage, and even issues tied to national sovereignty.

One of them, the Institute for Nationalist Studies, has gone as far as calling for the project’s outright rejection. The group claimed that the Philippine government is offering land and natural resources to the United States rent-free.

"Under the guise of integration into global supply chains, Pax Silica is another false promise of technological development for the Philippines, while the US and its allies keep Filipino workers toiling at the most labor-intensive part of production," it said.

As the conversation continues online, the debate has grown into a larger one: how to balance progress and innovation with the welfare of local communities. For now, Manalo remains among the public figures using their platform to keep that conversation going, especially for those who might be directly affected.

Agree ako sa kaunlaran. Hindi ako agree sa pagiging kulelat sa value chain ng Pilipinas. Tayo ang nagmimina, tayo ang nagluluwas ng raw materials, pero ibang bansa ang nagpo-proseso, gumagawa ng higher value products, at kumikita nang mas malaki mula sa yaman na galing din sa atin.

Agree ako na sagana ang Pilipinas sa likas na yaman. Ayon sa datos, pang-anim tayo sa kabuuang nickel reserves ng mundo (at top 2 sa production). In principle, agree ako sa isang proyekto na nagsasabing panahon na para umahon tayo mula sa pagiging supplier ng raw materials, at maging sentro rin tayo ng pagpoproseso, industriya, at inobasyon.

Hindi ako agree sa malalaki at matatamis na pangako ng kaunlaran na mga ordinaryong Pilipino ang nagbabayad at pumapasan, pinaka-nagsakripisyo at pinaka-naagrabyado.

Agree akong bahagi ang Pax Silica ng mas malaking pandaigdigang kompetisyon para sa teknolohiya, critical minerals, at supply chains. Hindi ako agree na patambay-tambay lang ang ‘Pinas habang umaabante ang ating mga kapit-bansa at ang buong mundo.

Agree akong hindi porke’t tinatawag na “strategic” ang isang proyekto, ‘matik na itong patas, wasto, o mainam para sa atin. Kaya dalawa ang aking pinakamahalagang sukatan sa Pax Silica: Makikinabang ba ang mga pinakamahirap at pinaka-bulnerableng Pilipino rito? Meron ba itong sapat na sustainability safeguards para protektahan ang ating environment?

Hindi ako agree na kapalit ulit ng pangako ng industriyalisasyon at pag-unlad ang kapakanan ng mga magsasaka, mangingisda, manggagawa, mga katutubo, at mga pamilyang Pilipino na hirap na hirap nang kumita. At sa panahon ng climate crisis, na dama na natin sa heat waves at super typhoons, sa tagtuyot at mas madalas at matataas na pagbaha, hindi rin ako agree na maging kapalit nito ang biyayang kalikasan, lalo na ang tubig na bumubuhay sa atin at sa ating mga pananim.

Agree ako na hindi hadlang sa pag-unlad ang lahat ng mga usaping ito tungkol sa lupa, tubig, kabuhayan, at posibleng community displacement, maging kuryente at ingay. Sa totoo lang, mismong ang mga ito ang magtatakda kung tunay nga ba ang progreso.

Hindi ako agree na ang framework agreement na kasalukuyang pinag-uusapan ay hindi dadaan sa mahigpit at transparent o bukás na pagsusuri, tulad ng free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) principles ng ating batas para sa mga karapatan ng katutubo.

Simple lang ang paninindigan ko sa Pax Silica: Kung makakatulong itong palakasin ang industriyang Pilipino habang pinoprotektahan ang mga komunidad at kalikasan natin dito sa Pilipinas, nararapat lamang itong suportahan. Pero kung ang kapalit ay ang muli at lalong panggigipit sa gipit na, at ang paggamit sa kalikasan nang walang sapat na safeguards, at para lamang may iilang limpak-limpak ang pakinabang, ‘yun ang hangganang hindi ko tatawirin.

At dahil dito, kailangang dumaan sa butas ng karayom ang pagbubusisi at pagbabalangkas ng nasabing proyekto; kailangan din ng hayag at malawakang konsultasyon para matiyak na tunay at ganap na napapangalagaan ang batas ng Pilipinas at ang pambansang interes, ang ating mga komunidad at kalikasan.
