Leaders in the Philippines and the United States want to build a huge place for making tiny computer parts, including ones used for AI—computers that learn patterns. The plan is part of **Pax Silica**. Leaders say it could help the country earn money.

But Aeta families, whose ancestors lived on this land long ago, worry about losing their homes and farms. Gloria, an elder wearing a bright blue scarf in a green field, says families have already been told to leave. Officials say nobody will have to move.

The factories would need lots of water and electricity. People worry there may not be enough for farms and homes, and that factory waste could harm nature. Hundreds protested, and some people were hurt during clashes with police.

“Ride the AI wave” means joining the excitement about AI—not surfing on a real wave!
