CONSULTANT'S MESSAGE ALEJANDRO “DONDON” NUEVA, JR. PACSA Consultant

The myriad of challenges that go with the ASEAN integration and the approaches to providing probable solutions to these challenges is not as easy as choosing on a South Beach diet menu. Considering the real impact that it will create in the region on the areas of education and professional training, inter-state job creation, trade and commerce and the whole economy, and other cultural and social concerns, we need to prepare critically “at home” and openly assess our sense of preparedness to address both the short and long impact that it will bring.

IN THE LIGHT OF THE ASEAN INTEGRATION “Political will is needed to keep up with other member-states. With or without ASEAN integration, we need to fix our problems. Even without the integration, we need to move forward,” – Cueto

ASEAN Integration in Brief

Dr. Adelaida Fronda started her talk with a short introduction about the Association of Southeast Asian Nations established in 1967 with five pioneer nations being Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Philippines aiming for peace preservation, economic, social, and cultural cooperation among member-states. Then, she presented the membership of other states like Brunei Darussalam (1984), the Indochinese countries or CLMV, Vietnam (1995), Laos and Myanmar (1997), and Cambodia (1999) including the expressed intention of Timor Leste to join the group. Furthering her discussion, Dr. Fronda elaborated the developments and activities of the ASEAN community as a region. As per her presentation, during the ASEAN Summit (2003), the member states agree to transform the organization into an ASEAN Community which was originally set to commence in 2020 as stipulated in the Vision 2020 adopted in 1997. But, during the 12th ASEAN Summit (2007), it was decided to accelerate the attainment of the ASEAN Community by 2015, in the face of global and regional economic challenges and the need for ASEAN to reassert its centrality and to ensure that it remains the driving force in shaping the constantly evolving regional architecture.

with their corresponding targets. Also, Dr. Fronda showed a survey result commissioned by the ASEAN Secretariat in 2013 stating 76 percent still lack basic understanding of what ASEAN is and its purpose. RELATED LAW

After giving the audience a bird’s eye view of what ASEAN is, she explained a related law which is a manifestation of our country’s action to cope with the educational system adopted by other member-states—Republic Act No. 10533, the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 or famously known as the K+12 Policy. Dr. Fronda, discussed the salient points of the policy with regards to the changes in the educational curriculum of the country. “To assure the quality of this change, the consultative committee shall oversee the review and evaluation on the implementation of the basic education curriculum and may recommend to the DepED the formulation of necessary refinements in the curriculum,” said Dr. Fronda. CHED POLICIES AND INITIATIVES

With the adoption of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, Dr. Fronda broadened her talk by explaining the initiatives done by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). She started by defining CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 46, series 2012, entitled “Policy-Standard to Enhance Quality Assurance (QA) in Philippine Higher Education through an OutcomeBased and Typology-Based QA”.

She ended the first portion of her talk with presenting the three pillars of the ASEAN Community namely the ASEAN Political Security, ASEAN Economic Community, and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community She also enumerated the vertical

typologies (Autonomous, Deregulated and Regulated Higher Education Institutions) and horizontal typologies (Professional Institutions, Colleges, and Universities) that shall be working with the agency for the implementation of the said memo. Another portion of the memo is the integration of outcome-based education (OBE) defined by the speaker as an approach focusing and organizing the educational system around what is essential for all learners to know, to value, and to be able to achieve a desired level of competence.

Dr. Fronda cited Chairperson Patricia Licuanan’s admittance that the country needs to catch up with the much earlier preparations of its ASEAN partners, in a CHED briefing paper released by its International Affairs Service (IAS) in March 2014. Besides, Licuanan stated a number of tasks that needed to be done to cope with other ASEAN member-states emphasizing on the development of a better credit transfer system and Diploma Supplement which will enable the comparability of Philippine higher education with those of other countries.

able to do so, institutions must have sound and effective student-toservices and student development hierarchy and programs framework. CATCH-UP CHALLENGES

Despite all the objectives that CHED has started working on, Julio Amador III, an Asia Studies Visiting Fellow at the East-West Center in Washington, listed down in a policy brief 8 issues that can have significant impact due to the Policy-Standard to Enhance Quality Assurance stakeholders in the country must consider as listed: •Policy

•Expansion of ASEAN University Network (AUN) Membership, with AUN identified under the 2007 Charter as one of the sectoral bodies responsible for the implementation of higher education commitments in the blueprint of the ASEAN SocioCultural Community.

Dr. Fronda asked, “With only the University of the Philippines (UP), De La Salle University (DLSU), and Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) as members, how can AUN In addition to the prestated memo, membership be expanded even to CHED also released CMO No. 9 Series other universities and colleges?” of 2013 which is also known as the Enhanced Policies and Standards •Mutual Recognition of University on Student Affairs and Services that Degrees due to the late actually concerns all the student implementation of K to 12 Policy advisers and student affairs university degrees from the country practitioners of the country.

“The lack of synchronization [in academic calendar] really hampers research – we’re not able to engage partners,” AdMU President Jose Ramon Villarin said and quoted by Dr. Fronda. •State of ASEAN Studies Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) President Melito Salazar said, “The trade patterns in the Philippines is still US, Europe, and – to some extent – Chinadirected... Are the graduates coming out competitive? Are the graduates knowledgeable of ASEAN culture, [and the ASEAN way] of doing business?” quoted by Dr. Fronda. Besides, she supplemented Salazar’s words with that of Amador’s saying, “[Philippines must] implement courses and programs on ASEAN studies – necessary to inculcate a regional mindset early on.” •Student and Faculty Mobility According to Dr Jose Cueto Jr., member of the Board of Medicine of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), “Gradual changes in 2015 may see better

There states’ status in the line of research must also be continual upgrade . Dr. Fronda quoted further Amador’s of SA practioners’ skills and advice of taking advantage of competencies through research

Dr. Fronda finished her talk by stressing the importance of soft skills in the professional readiness of students. Amidst our entry to the ASEAN Integration, she dared all the PACSA delegates, student leaders and advisers alike, that in as much as each profession requires technically capable workers, it is a must that a labourer or professional be able to adopt to any situations and to people of different cultures and traditions. Thus, she clinched by saying, ASEAN Filipino laborers must not only be members of the workforce of the ASEAN region, but leaders in their fields. “And in this crowd PACSA delegates of leaders, I am confident, our future is a competitive and progressive one!” –Dr. Fronda

KEH ON TRENDS IN LEADERSHIP “Asia is the next big thing and Philippines should be in the forefront of it.” GAME CHANGER

Harvey Keh, an education reform advocate, was the first speaker for the convention who focused on what are the new trends in leadership for this generation with consideration of the ASEAN Integration. He commenced his talk by citing the richest people in the world like Jack Ma (China) and Bill Gates (USA) to emphasize his stand on the new face of leadership for the generation. Also, he stated companies like Starbucks, Metrobank, and Filipino entrepreneurs who have successfully changed the game in their field of competencies with special mentions on public servants that had remarkably ignited change in their own means responding to the needs of their respective communities.

As for Bill Gates, Microsoft founder and world’s wealthiest, created the Bill and Melinda Foundation that consumes ninety percent of his total wealth. This charitable institution’s mission is dedicated in providing health and educational aid to countries around the world. This practice is now being embraced by more companies as their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSRs). In a nutshell, one face of leadership today is leading with compassion.

One significant portion on Keh’s discussion was when he retold the APEC scene of Obama’s interview with Ma of China. Obama asked Ma a question on why take care of the environment and he answered by saying “If we don’t take care of our environment, we lose our businesses.” Running businesses are jobs only true leaders can succeed in doing. Thus, LEADING RESPONSIBLY being a responsible businessman is about being a responsible leader Keh started by highlighting Jack Ma ready for risk-taking. who is presently China’s richest.

Student Leaders competed in the former, where creativity was promoted as the wears of the candidates were made from recycled materials. On the other hand, the campus student advisers competed in the latter, where the candidates represented ASEAN member countries. Twelve pairs of student leaders and eight campus advisers were given the chance to prove they are worthy of the title, but only one pair for each competitions had dominated. Mr. Renz Paul del Rosario of Centro Escolar University - Makati from the National Capital Region and Ms. Mary Belle Castillion of Cor Jesu College from Mindanao were hailed this year’s Mr. and Ms. PACSA.

THE PHILIPPINES' DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS IN THE ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY “Our goal (as Filipinos) is to compete and to stand on our own.” – Dr. Mendoza The delegates of Philippine Association of Campus Student Advisers had been more enlightened by Dr. Ronald Mendoza, Executive Director of Asian Institute of Management, of what will be the economic status of the Philippines in the future as it gradually embraces the changes and opportunities in the ASEAN Economic Community. Growth of the Economic Malaysia and Indonesia

Pie:

Trends of the economic growth of two of the most resilient ASEAN countries: Malaysia and Indonesia have been shown to be understood thoroughly by the delegates how these countries recovered from crises and economic stagnation through the years. Dr. Mendoza have elucidated each phase in the economic pie which includes the Commodity -Driven, Rural Development, and Industrialization, Manufacturing and Services and Transformation Phase in Malaysia, while fluctuation points of the economic pie of Indonesia had also been elaborated, from the slow economic growth to the rapid economic growth. Indonesia had been to economic immobilism according to Dr. Mendoza. This immobilism was caused by the absence of foreign investment and financial

crisis. What helped Indonesia to recover from immobilism are the following: (1) Growth of extractive exports and capital-intensive import substitution, (2) Liberalization of trade and exchange rate policies, and (3) Economic liberalization and deregulation. In a nutshell, these two countries were able to improve their economic status amidst the bottlenecks. Growth of Philippines

Economic

Pie:

After letting the audience scrutinize the economic pie of Malaysia and Indonesia, Dr. Mendoza showed how the Philippines regressed and recovered from different economic scenarios. Scenarios include (1) trade liberalization and import substitution, (2) export promotion, (3) debt-driven growth, (4) postponement of liberalization and protection increase of some sectors, (5) economic expansion and privatization of state-owned enterprises, (6) expansion of service sector and decline in manufacturing and (7) rapid economic growth. “There is a lot of learning, so we cannot repeat those mistakes”, Dr. Mendoza stated, it as the Philippines underwent a lot of adversities.

One wrong decision the Philippine government had made was the multi-billion dollar, none-energy producing Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. Dr. Mendoza stressed that the power plant was one of the biggest corruptions in the Philippines. He added that this lead to the downfall of the economic growth of the country. According to Dr. Mendoza, it actually took two decades (from Aquino’s administration to Arroyo’s) for the Philippine economy to rise from the downfall. “Philippines has the growth, but it lacked inclusivity,” Dr. Mendoza said.

Philippines had no generic competition laws until August 2015 came, which is the Philippine Competition Act of 2015. ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam already had these competition acts. Dr. Mendoza said that these competition laws in trade will regulate the competition policy. Although Philippines had already a competition act, Philippines must prepare a safety net for the investors that will lose, Dr. Mendoza said.

EU vs. ASEAN Regionalism

Companies had made some adjustments in order to maintain adaptability. The Textile manufacturer, Mc Jeans for example, which is based in Thailand already partnered with investment funds to facilitate its efforts to further penetrate the ASEAN regional market. Maybank, which is based in Malaysia, bought Bank Internassional Indonesia and acquired Kim Eng Holdings Ltd for $1.4 billion.

Dr. Mendoza discussed the economic integration of EU (European Union) to let the audience differentiate it to ASEAN. EU Economic Integration includes: (1) Formation of customs union, (2) Formation of a single market, (3) Liberalized their capital accounts, and more closely coordinated monetary policy, and (4) Formation of a common currency.

Adjustment of Companies

Is Philippines ready for AEC (ASEAN Philippine companies such as Economic Community)? Universal Robina Corporation, for example, already had manufacturing According to Dr. Mendoza, the facilities in countries such as Thailand, Philippines is now creating free Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and mobility, and is now adapting to China. San Miguel Corporation had investment regimes. The weak acquired 65% of Esso Malaysia for progress of investment regimes is $ 1.8 billion in 2011, where Esso that, progress is focused on sharing stations in Malaysia were rebranded and disseminating information to Petron. on investment policies and opportunities. It also leads to over-all ASEAN Integration’s Downside in the liberalization of investments which Philippine Industry are not in pace with the liberalization of goods’ trade and absence of There are a lot of opportunities and transparent dispute settlement fears in the Philippines as ASEAN mechanisms. “Masasapawan ang prepares for single market.

He stated that other countries can produce it better. One area that the Philippines will “Marami ang mawawalan ng trabaho also touch is the Competition Policy. sa industriya ng asukal”, he said. According to Dr. Mendoza, this is The sugarcane sector is negatively where companies need a referee, affected by the reduction in tariffs or a competition policy regulator. on sugar. But the rest of the other However, uneven progress that the agricultural sector improves. competition policy will bring is the development of the ASEAN Regional “The challenge for the government Guidelines on Competition Policy. is to protect the areas that will One thing that should be considered be hit”, he said. He refers to the is that ASEAN is far from creating a protectionism, not about “not level playing field for companies in allowing the investors”, but about the the form of a harmonized regional trade. competition regime. Dr. Mendoza gave an example which involves Promoting a More Inclusive Growth competition policy is the One Dollar Flight by Air Asia, on which other One question that the Philippine airline companies had suffered and government must answer is: the government must meddle in to How should inclusive growth and resolve the issue. development in the backdrop of AEC

be promoted? According to Dr. Mendoza, the government must create policies to empower citizens, such as Poverty Reduction Policies. Other policies that will help the Philippines are the Reproductive Health Policy and industrial policies that lead to decent jobs for Filipinos. The government must also create social safety net or policies for protection. “With these, there is no doubt that the Philippines will promote a more inclusive growth,“ Dr. Mendoza emphasized.

Philippine Government, any actions? In order to reduce poverty and empower the next generation, one good example of a program that the Philippines had implemented is the 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program). According to DSWD, there were 863,046 beneficiaries of 4Ps who had graduated from elementary, 336,673 children graduated from high school and 13,000 graduated with honors. This is a good number which if continued, will really reduce the poverty rate of the Philippines, as tackled b the speaker.

“In terms of job opportunities, the economy of the Philippines seem schizophrenic,” said Dr. Mendoza said. He presented the audience a picture which shows two tarpaulins where the first tarpaulin showcases how commuting is fun in the Philippines and the other tarpaulin (which is actually just below the first tarpaulin) promotes a “Fly now, Pay later” program with a statement “Migrate Now!”.

in the Philippines increase each year. And according to Dr. Mendoza, the challenge for the next two Philippine presidents is to create up to 1.6 million jobs per year. “ASEAN integration can actually generate up to one million more jobs,” he added. Dr. Mendoza ended his talk by saying, “Don’t stick to the traditional part of the society. We need to be more ambitious.”

One thing that the Filipinos must be thankful is that job opportunities

Simpleng estudyante lamang ako Na nagnais bumyahe pa Baguio Noong una, para lang mamasyal Ngunit nagbago habang tumatagal

Yes, they’ve got a name. A name not for fame. Saved for brilliance of leading; To clutch glory on where they’re serving.

Naging isang batang animoy sabik sa kaalaman Atat sa mga bagay na di malilimutan kailanman Malamig na simoy ng hangin Kabutihan ang hangarin

Gigantic heart must be a desire Keeping all weaknesses inside Turn the spitting image rock-hard. Never freeze, remain stout.

Tunay ngang kabataan ang pag asa ng bayan Kaya kami’y naririto upang manindigan Baluktot na sistema’y nais ituwid Hindi na maghahari ang ganid Pahat na isipa’y aming bubusugin Anumang hirap ng buhay ay susuingin Kaunlaran ang aming hangarin Pagbabago’y sisimula’t tutuparin (C)

WHO'S WHO? : 12 PEOPLES YOU MEET IN PACSA 1. THE SECRETARY – Ang dakilang tagasulat ng bayan. Lahat ata ng tungkol sa mga pangyayari sa PACSA nakasaad na sa mahiwagang papel niya. Baka sabi sa kanya may quiz bago makauwi. Akala mo din gagawa ng news articles at essays sa dami ng isinulat, dinaig pa yung documentation committee. Pakisabi, sa susunod, siya na gumawa ng dyaryo. 2. THE SESSIONISTA – Siya yung complete attendance sa lahat ng sessions at workshops. Sulit na sulit sa mga natutunan at picture ng mga speakers. Siya ang namimilit sa inyo na pumunta kayo ng sessions. Maagang gumigising at nagaalmusal upang makapunta agad sa Convention Hall para makahanap ng magandang pwesto. Isang huwarang magaaral, siya ang delegate na dapat tularan. Bigyan ng CD at jacket yan! 3. THE SPECTATOR - Nandyan siya pero parang wala. Kasama siya pero parang hindi. Sila yung mga kasama mong delegates na sumama nga pero parang napadaan lang. Walang ginawa sa session. Di man lang sumali ng competitions. Tagamatyag lang ng nangyayari sa paligid pero walang ibang ginawa kundi umupo at manood. Wala na ba syang ibang alam gawin? Pakiramdam ko dasal lang, dasal lang talaga. 4. THE STUDENT ASSISTANT - Ito yung mga delegates na di

mawala-wala sa tabi ng advisers. Ang dakilang kanang-kamay at alalay sa pag-intindi ng mga bayarin, gastusin, pag-head count, at pag-aalaga sa mga kapwa delegates. Sila rin yung mga busy-busyhan na mga estudyante na kasama ng organizers sa mga gawain at aasikasuhin para sa ikaga-ganda ng PACSA. Marapat silang bigyan ng clap, clap!

10. THE SLENDERMAN - Ito yung mga PACSAns na ang hilig tumakas sa gitna ng gabi sa di malamang dahilan. Babalik sila sa alanganing oras kapag mahimbing na ang tulog ng lahat. Nagmumukha na silang si Slenderman habang dahandahang bumabalik ng kwarto dahil silhoutte lang nila ang naaaninag mo. Kung sa Teacher’s Camp ulit ang PACSA, napagkamalan mo na siguro siyang multo. 11. THE SPADE - Di pa ba halata? Siyempre sila yung mga bored at inaantok kapag session pero gising na gising ang diwa sa gabi. Ayan tayo eh no, aminin mo! Sino ba namang party-goer ang di ma-eengganyo sa nang-aakit na pinto ng kasiyahan ng Spade Club. Paglabas mo pa lang kasi ng Crown Legacy, wine-welcome ka na agad. Pero siyempre, isa lang naman nilang paraan iyon upang mas makilala ang mga bagong kaibigan sa PACSA. 12. THE SOUL-SEARCHER - Sila yung mga mahilig magmuni-muni at maglibot-libot sa gitna ng malamig na gabi habang naghihintay ng malapelikulang senaryo na mangyayari sa kanya at sa pinakahihintay nyang soulmate. Soul-searching daw e. Paalala lang ho, convention po ang pinuntahan natin, hindi hanapan ng nawawalang forever!
