I saw a post on Reddit that said, “When you walk through a museum, you’re not just looking at art. You’re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.
So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.
NO TO PAX SILICA
Tarlac heavily relies on agriculture for its sustenance and marami sa magsasaka namin ang posibleng marelocate at mawalan ng kabuhayan dahil dito. And this is just one of the many risks it poses. the 1.6 hectare AI-hub promises to be innovative but at what cost
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

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???
our country is literally crying for help. may scheduled power interruption, yung heat index yearly tumataas, sobrang init, yung mga tubig din ang bilis nauubos dahil nga sa sobrang init, ang bilis ding bumaha, AND our farmers are super underpaid. GISING NA. #NoToPaxSilica
things are worth paying attention to:
1. pax silica
2. israeli interests/investments in siargao
3. israeli agricultural projects in palawan
4. china's claims and activities involving batanes and the west philippine sea
5. ghost projects and flood control projects
6. vp sara duterte's impeachment trial
7. philippines-israel relations
8. livelihood of filipino farmers and fisherfolk
9. inflation and cost of living
10. consumer and labor issues involving major companies (e.g., meralco)
11. aeta ancestral land issue in subic
12. expansion and implementation of fa and edca sites

being informed shouldn't be optional ‼️
PROTEST AGAINST PAX SILICA PROJECT
Tensions erupted between protesters and police outside the PICC in Pasay City on Wednesday, July 22, as activists staged a rally opposing the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting and the proposed U.S.-led Pax Silica project.
Rubio later arrived at Malacañang for a meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

the fact na sobrang underpaid ng mga farmers when they literally do one of the hardest (if not the hardest) jobs out there is beyond me. sila na nga ang naglalagay ng pagkain sa mesa, sila pa ang madalas na nawawalan ng maisusubo. hustisya, hindi limos. bayan, hindi bulsa.
philippines is rich in resources, yet too often exploited.
the perlas ng silangan deserves to benefit from its own wealth not stand by while others exploit it.
the west philippine sea is ours.
no to pax silica.
