Join us in a World BEYOND War Asia webinar on Pax Silica happening on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 at 8:30 am ET (1:30pm CET / 8:30pm Manila). Following our recently released feature article on Pax Silica, we invite you to a more in-depth discussion on this topic and how it will affect the people of the Philippines.

Pax Silica is a U.S.-led coalition launched in December 2025 as the U.S. Department of State’s flagship effort on artificial intelligence (AI) and supply chain security. The Philippines, as a new member this year, agreed to lease around 4,000 acres of land for 99 years to host high-tech industries and supporting businesses, functioning as a supply chain hub for artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

This partnership will not only exploit the country's resources but will also further reinforce the Philippines' role in serving the U.S.’s war games. Coalition members include Israel and other governments known for supporting military exercises and the weapons industry.

Our Speakers:

DJ Janier - Campaigns Director, Kilusan para sa Pambansang Demokrasya (Movement for National Democracy)
