菲律宾学生在马尼拉抗议特朗普即将到访:反对美国主导的「硅和平」倡议

菲律宾学生11月13日在马尼拉举行抗议,反对美国总统特朗普即将为出席第49届东盟峰会访问菲律宾,并要求废除美国主导的半导体与关键矿产供应链倡议「硅和平」(Pax Silica)。
当天,来自马尼拉雅典耀大学、菲律宾大学迪里曼分校与米里亚姆学院的数百名学生以「一个卡蒂普南」联合行动的名义,在奎松市卡蒂普南大道旁的圣道教区(Della Strada)外集会。菲律宾大学的学生当天还罢课并在校园内游行,举着要求特朗普下台、反对菲律宾总统马科斯政府的横幅。据当地媒体报道,特朗普预计在峰会闭幕前抵达,将是最后一位抵达马尼拉的与会领导人,峰会场馆菲律宾国际会议中心周边的安保已经加强。
这已是一周内第二场针对特朗普访菲的抗议。11月9日,妇女团体Gabriela组织数十名妇女在马尼拉卡劳大道游行,高举「特朗普滚出去」等标语,还有人用扫帚扫过特朗普的画像以示拒绝。抗议者要求废除「硅和平」倡议;菲律宾今年4月成为该倡议第13个签署方。全国民主联盟BAYAN则预告,将在特朗普到访的11月16日至17日组织大规模抗议并焚烧特朗普肖像。
第49届东盟峰会定于11月15日至17日在马尼拉举行,特朗普此行是他2017年以来首次访问菲律宾,白宫与菲律宾总统府均已确认他将出席。美国驻菲律宾使馆此前表示,峰会期间及之后不会宣布「硅和平」经济安全区的相关消息。

Philippine Students Protest in Manila Ahead of Trump's Visit, Opposing the U.S.-Led Pax Silica Initiative
Philippine students protested in Manila on November 13 against U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming visit for the 49th ASEAN Summit, demanding the scrapping of Pax Silica, the U.S.-led initiative on secure supply chains for semiconductors and critical minerals.
Hundreds of students from Ateneo de Manila University, the University of the Philippines Diliman and Miriam College gathered that day under the "One Katipunan" banner outside the Della Strada parish on Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City. University of the Philippines students also walked out of classes and marched around their campus with banners calling for Trump's ouster and opposing the government of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Local media reported that Trump was expected to arrive shortly before the summit closes, the last leader to reach Manila, and that security had been stepped up around the summit venue, the Philippine International Convention Center.
It was the second protest against Trump's visit within a week. On November 9, dozens of women led by the Gabriela group marched along Kalaw Avenue in Manila carrying "Trump Out" placards, some sweeping pictures of Trump along the road with brooms in a symbolic rejection. The protesters demanded the scrapping of Pax Silica, which the Philippines joined in April as its 13th signatory. The nationalist alliance BAYAN has vowed mass protests, including the burning of a Trump effigy, during his visit on November 16-17.
The 49th ASEAN Summit runs from November 15 to 17 in Manila. Trump's trip is his first visit to the Philippines since 2017, and both the White House and Malacañang have confirmed he will attend. The U.S. Embassy has said no announcement on the proposed Pax Silica economic security zone will be made during or after the summit.
