IN PHOTOS: Student and youth leaders from various organizations launched the Youth Against Pax Silica (YAPAX) alliance announcing the National Day of Action on November 13 against the US-led Pax Silica initiative. The event was held earlier today during a press conference at Vinzons Hall in the University of the Philippines Diliman.
The alliance aims to mobilize 10,000 students and youth nationwide through campus demonstrations and collective actions ahead of United States President Donald Trump's visit for the 49th ASEAN Summit. Citing concerns over threats to Indigenous communities, national sovereignty, and the country's natural resources, YAPAX called for an end to negotiations on the proposed framework agreement, and urged the government to prioritize public education, agrarian reform, and national industrialization.

NATIONAL UPDATE: Anti-mining advocate Jesus Cabias Jr. was shot inside his home in Barangay Liwayway, MacArthur, Leyte, at around 8 PM yesterday, November 6.
Cabias serves as the spokesperson of a group of MacArthur farmers opposing iron sand mining. In a petition letter dated February 4, the group called on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to issue an Executive Order to halt mining operations in the area.
Cabias has raised concerns over MacArthur Ironsand Mining Corp.'s compliance with its mining permit, particularly its unfulfilled obligation to rehabilitate mining areas.
The National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers Tacloban Law Students (NUPL-TAC) said Cabias is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Tacloban City. Investigations are ongoing to identify the perpetrators and determine the possible motive behind the attack.
NUPL-TAC condemned the shooting, saying that there can be no real climate justice while environmental defenders continue to be harmed.

Thousands of teachers took to the streets in Old San Juan on Thursday for a "March of Teachers' Indignation" to protest unpaid wages and low pensions. The educators are demanding $94 million in teacher career ladder payments from Governor Jenniffer González's government and better working conditions.
The teachers’ protest was coordinated in part by the Puerto Rico Teachers Federation and joined by the School Bus Drivers Federation, the United Firefighters Union of Puerto Rico, the Brotherhood of Exempt Non-Teaching Employees of the University of Puerto Rico, the Workers Union of the Puerto Rican University Professors Association and the Independent Union of the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority.
According to José Rosado Rolón, president of the School Bus Drivers Federation, the government owes them $9 million for services to the Puerto Rico Department of Education.

Japan's tech-heavy Nikkei has officially entered a BEAR MARKET:
The Nikkei 225 Index cratered as much as -7.1% intraday, falling below 60,000, its lowest level since April, and closed -6.0%, leaving it more than 20% below its June peak.
At the same time, the broader Topix fell -5.9%, its largest daily decline since April 2025.
Semiconductor stocks led the rout, with Rohm plunging 20%, Furukawa Electric losing more than 19%, and Kioxia falling over 12% in just one trading session.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's Taiex plunged -4.5%, extending its decline to -20% from its October peak and also entering bear market territory.
The selloff reflects growing investor doubts about whether massive AI infrastructure investments can generate enough returns to justify elevated tech stock valuations.
Concerns over tighter US AI regulation and potential delays to data-center construction are adding further pressure on chip firms.
The AI frenzy is undergoing a brutal reversal across the globe.

Is China imperialist? If China is challenging the U.S. for hegemony, why isn’t it using its huge military power to seriously protect its allies? Why is it barely using its economic power against the U.S.?

Having come across numerous comments of optimism about the Democrats taking the U.S. Congress, comrades in the Philippine left should take note:
In power, Dems economically strangled us. Since 2024, they have given Trump a free hand to beat us down. Voting for Dems won't ease cost of living or stop attacks on immigrants/black ppl/women. It will just slow the building of a working-class fightback: iclfi.org/pubs/wv/1191/midte….
