China and Japan were two of the most powerful nations which influenced our country on regions’ economic and political development. China is an economic power by its manner on world trade organization wherein it plays a strategic player on the scene; it is also a permanent member of United Nations. China’s “One China Policy” is its sole legal government of China and of course its involvement or entry into the WTO paved its way to a growing economy which attracted investors, tourists and simply outside forces to engage into a contact with this country.
Japan pushed its relationship with the Philippines through bilateral agreements like JPEPA which is said to strengthen the economic and political relationship of Japan-Philippines. These countries including ours of course are involved in the ASEAN which is fully supporting the vision for a more unified ASEAN community wherein the Philippines is also a founding member of the organization. It is an instrument towards the security of the regions by continuing to share the countries’ influences with one another. And thus, our Philippine foreign policy was made in the context of the ASEAN. Lastly, US, China and Japan relationship with one another are the determining influence in the security situation and economic revolution of East Asia.
