    As one has stated, “With Japan on board, the Asian identity of the TPP is more than solidified” (Mohammed, 2013, Council on Foreign Relations). Every country that is in the Trans Pacific Partnership is important and essential, but the significance of Japan is quite special because of the sheer size of its economy. The TPP has acquired a stature that it had not had before. TPP itself is one of the most ambitious free trade agreements ever to be attempted by many countries. While people seem to care about Japan joining TPP or not, the fundamental problem must be emphasized on the understandings of how TPP can really have a more seamless, efficient and integrated set of countries in harmony. Through this enormous free trade, Japan can certainly increase in its GDP, production rate, and as well as have positive consequence towards other East-Asian countries. With this fundamental problem presented, Japan’s inclusion in TPP will not only benefit Japan itself but other countries that are in TPP.…

Its benefits are most commonly categorized to 10 aspects, namely: peace, disputes, rules, cost of living, choice, incomes, growth and jobs, efficiency, lobbying, and good government. The Philippines has been a WTO member since January 1995, and the issue of whether this country has derived the supposed-to-be benefits by joining this organization has been has been existing. Walder Bello, a political analyst, described the Philippine's membership with WTO as “a multilateral punishment”. As for me, I firmly believe as well that the Philippines is better off not joining WTO.…

    And so let me begin by asking the assumed question: Is there a Filipino Philosophy? And the proof for a positive answer to it can only be found in the actual articulation of it. Without this articulation, it will be difficult even to show that there is such a thing as a Filipino philosophy. Maybe in the first place we are talking about nothing. At this point, indeed, it would be better not to assume anything and so we need to ask: Is there a Filipino Philosophy?…
