Gehlee calls AI users a red flag, her fans declare war on Pax Silica

UNIS member and “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab 3.0” housemate Gehlee Dangca has caught fans’ attention after casually naming artificial intelligence (AI) users as one of her red flags, prompting supporters to link her remarks to growing opposition to the proposed Pax Silica project in the Philippines.

During a conversation with fellow housemates about relationship red flags, Gehlee initially admitted, “I don’t know e. I just have a feeling that if they’re not for you… they’re just not.”

She then followed it with a seemingly unexpected answer: “AI users.”

Her fellow housemates appeared to share her sentiment, citing concerns about AI’s consumption of clean water.

Although Gehlee did not explicitly mention Pax Silica, fans were quick to connect her remarks to the controversial US-led initiative, which aims to strengthen AI and semiconductor supply chains through technology infrastructure and advanced manufacturing.

Supporters and fan clubs have since praised the idol for what they interpreted as an anti-AI stance, with some encouraging others to research the proposed project and participate in discussions about its environmental and social implications.

“Love it when your fave shares the same principles as you. Gehlee and I have one thing in common: we hate AI users. NO TO PAX SILICA!” one fan wrote.

Another supporter urged Filipinos to stay informed, particularly amid expectations that the proposed Pax Silica framework agreement could be signed in November.

“LUPA SA MAGSASAKA, HINDI SA PAX SILICA,” the fan emphasized.

The proposed AI hub in New Clark City has drawn criticism from environmental advocates and Indigenous communities over concerns about water resources, ancestral lands, and potential displacement.

Malacañang has said the framework agreement is targeted for signing before the end of 2026, although its signing during US President Donald Trump’s November visit has not been confirmed.

Meanwhile, fans also welcomed the opportunity to see social issues discussed inside the reality show.

“Ganyan dapat ang topic niyo! Social issues. Battle of the fittest na nga tapos puro pa tayo loveteam,” one viewer commented.

Another asked, “Pinag-uusapan din kaya nila sa loob yung political stances nila? Or nacacut lang ni Kuya kaya hindi natin nalalaman?”

This is not the first time Gehlee has drawn attention for expressing solidarity with social causes. In September 2025, she used UNIS’ official Instagram account to encourage Filipinos participating in anti-corruption demonstrations to “take a stand,” earning praise for using her platform to acknowledge issues back home.
