SUSG STATEMENT ON PAX SILICA.

The Silliman University Student Government (SUSG) recognizes the proposed Pax Silica initiative as a development that carries significant implications for the country's industrial and technological future. Pax Silica is a United States-led partnership focused on securing the production of computer chips, artificial intelligence systems, and the critical minerals needed to support them. As part of this initiative, the Philippines is set to host a large economic zone in New Clark City, where manufacturing facilities may be established.

While the project is presented as an opportunity to create jobs and strengthen global partnerships, it also raises important concerns that must not be overlooked.

We recognize the need to keep pace in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world. However, progress must not come at the expense of the communities that may be directly affected. Concerns surrounding environmental impact, resource use, and the welfare of affected sectors must remain central in determining whether this project will genuinely serve the interests of the Filipino people.

SUSG believes that development should lead to meaningful, inclusive, and lasting gains. It should not be measured solely by short-term economic opportunities or investments that fail to benefit local communities. Those who stand to be directly affected deserve to be meaningfully included in the conversation, and the country's resources must be managed with transparency, accountability, and long-term responsibility.

We urge all stakeholders to commit to uncompromising transparency, proactively address legitimate public concerns, and assume full accountability for the project’s social, environmental, and economic impacts.

We urge the Sillimanian community to remain informed, engaged, and critical as discussions surrounding Pax Silica continue. Let us uphold meaningful dialogue and demand for a future where development is guided not only by economic progress, but also by accountability and the genuine welfare of the Filipino people
