On Philippines indivisible
The US and Philippines have launched the Pax Silica Initiative, a project that critics say will lead to the cession of 2,000 hectares of Philippine territory to the US for 99 years. The project is seen as a threat to the Philippines' sovereignty and national integrity.
The US and Philippines have launched the Pax Silica Initiative, a project announced by US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg on April 16, 2026. The project involves the cession of 2,000 hectares in Tarlac, Philippines, to the US for 99 years. Critics argue that this will lead to the exploitation of Philippine resources and undermine the country's sovereignty. The area is said to be rich in minerals, but no mention has been made of its natural resources. The project is seen as part of a larger pattern of US annexation of territories, with critics drawing parallels to US actions in Venezuela and Iran. Opponents of the project argue that it is a threat to the Philippines' national integrity and that it should be stopped at all costs.
