One of the driving forces behind the Pax Silica initiative is the geopolitical race to be the dominant player in the set of technologies lumped under “AI. In this episode featuring Wonder Facilitator Tony La Viña in an intergenerational conversation with our field guide, physicist, and Chairperson Emeritus of AGHAM (Advocates of Science and Technology for the People) Dr. Gani Tapang, and our explorer, indigenous activist, and human rights defender Funa-ay Claver, we asked the following questions as our North Star:

In the face of the climate crisis, what are responsible ways to respond to the global race to build AI infrastructure?

How can the Philippines develop through science and technology in a way that is pro-people and ecologically responsible?

How can we prevent international agreements like Pax Silica from continuing the history of resource imperialism that has ravaged our country?

TAKE ACTION:

Sign the petition to oppose the Pax Silica project here in the Philippines and protect our land and water against exploitation. Go to https://bit.ly/TWP-nopaxsilica to make your voice heard.

You can also leave a comment to share your vision of a Philippines that is technologically advanced, sovereign, pro-people, and pro-environmental justice.

Thank you once again to our guests for lovingly navigating these questions with us.

Trigger warning: this episode includes a short mention of torture and violence

What really happened during the Martial Law era? Ano nga ba ang nangyari noong panahon ng Batas Militar? What lasting scars did the Martial Law era leave on Philippine society? How do we deal with efforts to wash away the bloody history of Martial Law?

Given these questions as our North Star, our discussion with Eddie Quitoriano – former commander in the New People’s Army and writer of the memoir, Deeper Ground, Darker Shadows: The Making of a Mindanao Rebel, now an independent consultant for conflict resolution and security – comes out today on the 54th anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines. How has Philippine society been since? What remains of Marcos Sr. and various dynasties’ political projects, and what can we contribute to the intergenerational task of nation-building?

Thank you once again to our guest for lovingly navigating these questions with us.
