REPAINTED OVER THE WEEKEND? Panels installed at Tambo Bridge in Parañaque containing “Trump Out!” and “Reject Pax Silica” have been repainted over the weekend as seen on Sunday. The protest graffiti was in response to the upcoming arrival of US President Donald Trump in time for the 49th ASEAN Summit happening on November 15 to 18, 2026. | via @ronahamparo

‘THE EARTH IS NOT OURS TO EXHAUST. IT IS OURS TO STEWARD’ The Roman Catholic Diocese of Bayombong released a pastoral statement on Thursday rejecting the Pax Silica project. “If Pax Silica pushes forward without genuine consultation and strong protections, the same pattern may become worse: communities may face greater pressure to give up their land, while those who speak out may face more harassment and intimidation,” the statement read. “We do not oppose development that is genuinely just, sustainable, and determined by the people themselves. But development cannot mean the sacrifice of farmers, Indigenous peoples, workers, and rural communities for the benefit of powerful corporations and foreign interests. The earth is not merely a source of raw materials; it is our common home and the foundation of life for present and future generations,” they added. | via @EZMacairan
