Abstract
This paper extensively analyzes the bottom line of the Japan Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA). Though the paper looks at the agreement from both participant-country's perspectives, it lingers more on the Philippine's viewpoint - a show of how third-world countries are not really disadvantaged despite some downsides. The paper then takes a turn and looks at the entirety of bilateral agreements to judge their effectiveness, in light of this example.

A Closer Look at JPEPA
Issue against JPEPA
Final Judgment on JPEPA
From the Paper
"Both Japan and Philippines realize the importance of Information and Communications Technolgy (ICT) in local and international businesses today. Because of this, JPEPA proposes to promote the development of ICT through electronic commerce, promoting the use of ICT-related services to consumers, human resource development related to ICT, formulation and development of network security system and research and development. If these are properly implemented, then more people will be expected to have a better knowledge in applying ICT."

Abstract
This paper explains that both the Philippines and Thailand, which represent bright spots in a region of the world that has not always enjoyed economic prosperity, have solidly embraced the concepts of globalization, a free market economy and close ties with the United States. The author points out that the lion's share of the economic misery of the Asian monetary crisis went to those Asian nations, which had been enjoying record levels of growth just a few months before; Thailand was more severely affected than the Philippines. The paper reviews several economic factors, such as the comparative soundness of banks in the Philippines and Thailand, that might have influenced this situation. Many comparative graphs.

From the Paper
"The Asian financial crisis of the 1990s represented one of the last major economic challenges to the processes of globalization that had started several years before; in fact, Y. C. Jao (2001) points out that from an international perspective, the Asian financial crisis was "the most serious regional financial crisis since the European monetary crisis of 1992-93 and the Mexican peso crisis of 1994-95. However, for the Asian region alone, the Asian financial crisis is the most devastating economic and financial catastrophe since the Korean War of 1950-53" (p. 3). According to Arthur Grimes (1998), the Asian financial crisis began in earnest in July 1997 as a result of the depreciation of the Thai baht; by the end of 1997 the crisis had spread to virtually all Asian economies (with the exceptions noted below)."

Abstract
This paper stresses that, since the Philippines were controlled by many different countries over the course of its existence, it has adapted customs and traditions of many of these cultures. The author points out that the Filipino businessmen want to get to know the person before doing business; thereby, ensuring that negotiations will not begin until a friendly atmosphere is established. The paper underscores that respect in the Filipino culture is extremely important. The author relates that establishing Coca-Cola and its products as a family oriented line and incorporating aspects of respect, sharing the wealth among the community and old time values of friendship, youth, and enjoyment will best target the consumer. The paper includes a print advertisement, which shows that Coca Cola is the best and nothing but the best is expected in the Filipino culture.

From the Paper
"The Philippines has multiple forms of communication. 3.367 million (2005) Filipinos have landline telephones, and 41.6 million (2006) have mobile cellular phones. The telephone system is split between domestic and inter-island services and international and submarine cable services. The domestic and inter-island satellite services are adequate with 11 earth stations. The use of cell phones has had significant growth with around 10 cellular users per landline user. International and submarine services prove to be better than domestic services. 4.615 million (2005) people use the internet and 271,609 (2007) internet hosts."

Abstract
In this article, the writer of the paper explores planned parenting in the Philippines as it relates to gender equality rights and cultural preferences, using an anthropological perspective and analysis. The paper begins by outlining the evolution of family planning perceptions in the Philippines through recent history and defines how previous perceptions have influenced male and female responsibilities regarding planned parenting. The paper explores this subject using an applied anthropology approach, investigating human behavior and the applications it has to contemporary issues, in this case planned parenting. This approach offers a view of human behavior in the Philippines grounded in cultural exploration and actions resulting from such cultural investigation.

Analysis and Conclusions
From the Paper
"The results of the study suggest that historically family planning in the Philippines has been widely ignored despite increasing interest among women to limit the number of children they have.
"While recent initiatives have encouraged more emphasis on modern contraceptive use and methods of pregnancy prevention, recent decentralization of political policy has lead to little motivation for women to seek family planning alternatives and often resorting to abortion as a method of pregnancy prevention. Women seem to be the primary decision-makers when it comes to family planning, although in many cases husbands seem to object based on prenatal beliefs or concerns about the costs associated with family planning. This study also shows that healthcare providers consist largely of women in the Philippines with the exception of doctors, and most of these women often encourage women to engage in safe family planning practice.

America & The Philippines, 2001.
This paper is a historical overview of American imperialism in the Philippines.

Abstract
This paper is a historical overview of American imperialism in the Philippines. Americans launched their campaign against Spanish rule in the Philippines and once the Spanish-American War ended, they accepted the sole ownership of the Philippines from Spain as part of its spoils, and began planning the country's annexation to the United States. This move caused a rebellion led by Philippine native warrior Aguinaldo. This paper describes the impact of this event both on American history as well as Philippino history.
From the Paper
"Emilio Aguinaldo admired America and the ideals of freedom and justice for which she stood. Watching the efforts of the United States as it intervened between the country of Cuba and the oppression of its Spanish rule gave him hope for the future of his own country, the Philippines, which had also been ruled by Spain for the past three centuries. Aguinaldo, noted Filipino independence movement rebel and leader, called himself "the George Washington of the Philippines" and aided the Americans in any way possible as they launched their campaign against Spanish rule in the Philippines (Buschini http://www.smplanet.com/imperialism/gift.
html). This allegiance turned to rebellion, however, once the Spanish-American War ended, for at its end the victorious Americans banished Aguinaldo from negotiations, accepted the sole ownership of the Philippines from Spain as part of its spoils, and began planning the country's annexation to the United States. Aguinaldo, as well as all other Filipino natives, was justified in his outrage and rebellion, for America had no valid political, moral or ethical right to take what was not hers. In attempting to claim ownership of this country that was desperately striving to follow the United States' footsteps in the pursuit of basic rights and freedoms, especially for reasons of economical as well as political gain, America muddied those hallowed footsteps with a season of imperialism that went against every truth she ever held to be self-evident."

The Philippines, 2002.
An analysis of American author, Stanley Karnow's theory that America used the Philippines as a colonial bastion against political ideologies it disliked, such as communism.
855 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 30.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses ideas put forth by Stanley Karnow, in his book "In Our Image: America?s Empire in the Philippines" that America attempted to make over the Philippines into a nation in America's image, in political, economic and religious terms. The paper shows that because this remanufacture of imaging was done on an unequal basis, with the Philippines assumed to be inferior child to the parental and patriarchal re-manufacturing nature of America, the relationship between the two nations, in Karnow?s envisioning, was almost doomed to be exploitative.
From the Paper
Karnow is particularly harsh on the United States in describing the way the Reagan administration propped up the Marcoses. The administration?s justification for doing this was anti-communism, that Marcos was an anti-Communist in a world beset by an evil empire. However, Karnow does not exculpate this Philippine president from all blame, even though he is merciless when discussing Reagan's initial refusal to help return Marcos from exile after his loss to Nicky Aquino in the first fair presidential elections in the land. Karnow admits President Aquino's later eroding popularity and its impact on the Philippines.

The Philippines, 2004.
This paper discusses the U.S. colonization of the Philippines, which although pledged to be altruistic, proved to support a hidden agenda.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the American colonization of the Philippines gave the U.S. an Asian territory of military and social importance, similar to the imperialistic tradition of major European countries. The author points out that the acquisition of the Philippines was met with strong opposition by Filipinos charging the U.S. of imperialism; but the considerable value it brought to Philippine politics, the economy, and the social welfare of its people have, in some ways, justified the U.S. struggle for possession. Today, Filipino?s have successful educational, communication, transportation, agricultural, and political systems and actively engage in the Asian markets; the U.S. presence, whether altruistic or imperialistic, did have a positive impact on the overall welfare of the Philippine nation.
From the Paper
"The treaty went before the U.S. Senate for annexation, but met with opposition from factors opposed to imperialism of the Philippines. The opposition, which included former President Grover Cleveland and writer Mark Twain, reasoned that the annexation was inconsistent with the Teller Amendment, which opposed the annexation of Cuba and other Spanish colonies. Also, it was discussed that the Filipino resistance to an American presence demonstrated an act of imperialism on the part of the U.S. in forcing rule. Those who favored the annexation of the Philippines saw the opportunity as a means to bring Christianity to the Filipinos, prevent Germany?s annexation of the colony, and provide a stronghold for the U.S. in the Asian markets."

Abstract
This paper considers the demographics and the opportunities and threats in Malaysia and the Philippines, pointing out that of the two, Malaysia is more advanced in terms of technology. The paper explains that this is partly because the country is more prosperous and has been part of the technology hub of Asia, while the Philippines has had more economic problems and has not developed the same infrastructure as has Malaysia.
From the Paper
"The two countries under discussion are Malaysia and the Philippines and of the two, Malaysia is more advanced in terms of technology, in part because the country is more prosperous and has been part of the technology hub of Asia, while the Philippines has had more economic problems and has not developed the same infrastructure as has Malaysia. Both countries have had economic problems in recent year as a result of the downturn in the East Asian region, a downturn which included the failure of a number of high tech businesses in the region."

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of the lack of reproductive freedom in women in the Philippines. This is a problem of central concern for the country because it is imperative to the development of the economy and country as a whole for families to be planned and family sizes reduced to a manageable level. Women are currently having approximately 3.6 children, and the population is set to double within the next 25 years. The problem is also an urgent priority for the International Planned Parenthood Foundation because of a duty to provide care and support to those who do not have reproductive freedom. These women cannot choose when to have sex, let alone when to have children or how many. The first section of this paper provides an analysis of the root causes of reproductive servitude in the Philippines. The second section discusses the challenges to addressing the problem. The third section puts forth policy recommendations based on these challenges and where to renew the IPPF focus. The current policy has stalled and needs to rekindle the desire to plan families in the second fastest growing Asian country. The analysis concludes that the youth will need to be targeted, using field tactics and reinforcing the clinics already in place with necessary technology.
From the Paper
"?In the Second Session for the ICPD Preparatory Committee (in May 1993), the Philippines government strictly followed the Vatican?s orientation? (Correa 54). The next time they met for the Third Session, it was April 1994 and ?NGO?s were represented in the official Philippine delegation and the position shifted to support the reproductive health and rights framework? (Correa 54). Even though government policy may have shifted rapidly, real change takes much longer to take effect. Life in the slums of metro Manila have changed little over the past few decades, despite the advances in reproductive policy, including the creation of several family planning programmes sponsored by the government. ?The country has one of the highest population growth rates in Asia at 2.3 percent annually and an average population density which is nearly double the South-East Asian average and is exceeded only by that of Singapore? (IPPF Country Profile), so family planning has become a terribly important topic of interest. The population will likely double in the next quarter century, so we, as an international family planning front-runner, need to double our efforts as well in this country."

Abstract
Since 1992, under the directorship of President Fidel Ramos, the Philippines has embarked upon a productive economic path by implementing a series of economic reforms collectively known as the 'Philippines 2000' program, under which the country's APEC efforts have fallen. However, while the unprecedented growth of the Filipino economy unmistakably expounds the great success of these efforts, it cannot be ignored that the country fails to enjoy a stable economic or political foundation and the economy remains in a transitory period of extremely volatile growth.

Introduction
Bio-Cultural Approach in Breastfeeding
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Among the other theoretical approaches in anthropological studies, the bio-cultural model is considered to be the preferred applicable approach in understanding breastfeeding and facilitating ways and means for mothers to breastfeed. This model is an approach commonly used by anthropologist. Anthropology is the social science which studies the relationship between biology and culture. Culture is defined by anthropologists as a people's way of life. Anthropologists consider humans to be biological organisms that continuously adjust and modify their environment through culture. For a long period of time, anthropologists have been trying to find ways to collect data regarding the behavioral pattern of humans, especially females, in breastfeeding and weaning their young. Anthropologists upholds that a practice such as breast feeding which has nourished and provided sustenance to human children since the earliest known humans must have affected and imparted benefits for both mothers and infants."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to compare the economic development of South Korea with that of the Philippines from 1960 to the present. In 1960, both of these Far Eastern countries were equally underdeveloped economically, but today South Korea's per capita income is several times that of the Philippines. Why, in the last 35 years, has South Korea experienced such dramatic growth, while the Philippines has stagnated? This paper looks at how each country's culture, political leaders, economic policies and foreign trade policies have affected their growth rates.

From the Paper
"The first five-year plan caused rapid growth, largely by devaluing the won and restructuring the system of taxation and tariffs in such a way as to promote an increase in industrial exports (Han 166). It also caused rapid inflation due to government deficits and a 60 percent increase in the money supply (Brown 51). The second plan (1967-71) sought to correct the problems of the first by reducing government spending (Brown 52-3) while continuing to give tax deductions to industries that were expanding their exports (60)."
