Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) is a political slogan and movement popularized by Robert F. Kennedy during his presidential campaign and as the US Secretary of Health. It contends that chronic illness is an epidemic, especially among children, and advocates for healthier lifestyles choices in relation to food, exercise, and environmental exposure. This advocacy has also been known to spread misinformation and anti-scientific claims regarding the relationship between autism and vaccines, the dangers of WiFi and 5G connectivity, and more. Key aspects of MAHA messaging are self-reliance and the power of individual behavior in determining one's health, as well as questioning large pharmaceutical companies, food companies, and other big businesses that attack individual health.

In 2026, the Philippines and the United States announced plans to establish a 4,000-acre “Economic Security Zone” within the Luzon Economic Corridor under the US-led Pax Silica initiative. The proposed zone is intended to function as an AI- and semiconductor-focused industrial hub integrated into allied supply chains for critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The project is envisioned as a special economic zone with substantial foreign investment incentives and close strategic coordination between allied states. Supporters argue it would accelerate industrialisation, investment, and technological upgrading in the Philippines, while critics have raised concerns about sovereignty, labour, environmental costs, and geopolitical dependence on the United States.
