ACT Teachers Party-list Representative Antonio Tinio has urged the Department of Trade and Industry to release comprehensive information on all projects being developed under the United States-led Pax Silica initiative.
Tinio's statement follows announcements of plans to establish additional projects in locations outside the initial artificial intelligence hub. The representative emphasized the need for transparency regarding the scope, implementation, and details of all undertakings within the framework.
The Pax Silica initiative, backed by Washington, aims to strengthen semiconductor and advanced technology cooperation among allied nations in the region. The announcement of expanded projects signals growing investment in the technology sector across multiple Philippine sites.
The call for disclosure reflects ongoing parliamentary interest in ensuring public accountability for major economic development projects. Tinio's position aligns with broader legislative oversight of international partnerships involving significant infrastructure and technology investments.
