Over the course of many decades, globalization has been an essential factor in
the expansion and development of the economy. When it comes to the economy, the
term "globalization" refers to the process through which companies, organizations, and
governments begin to function on a global scale. The phrase "economic sphere" is often
attributed to the domain of business, although the political sphere is equally influenced
global organizations. As a result of this, governments all over the globe have a stronger
incentive to protect human rights and to increase the degree to which they are
responsible to the people they govern. As a direct result, companies now have a greater
range of alternatives for production at lower prices. Consumers all throughout the globe
will benefit from reduced costs and a wider variety of products if there is a more
the Filipino people, in particular, do not suffer any adverse effects as a result of
positive results. There have been changes in the nation, such as an increase in the
availability of labor and an increase in the number of companies that have formed to
boost the economy. This is a crucial component that has contributed resulting in an
improvement of one's quality of life in general. Since 1990, the World Bank reports that
decreased by 35%. (Globalization Benefits and Challenges, 2020). The most significant
effect of global economics was that it made it possible for Filipinos from all classes to
find jobs abroad. Filipino doctors, nurses, English instructors and professors,

Countries whose economies are still in the process of development, such as the
Philippines, depend heavily on international commerce and direct investment from other
nations, which in turn leads to economic integration. The Philippine Statistics Authority
reported that the country's total exports and imports for the month of August 2022
amounted to USD 18.82 billion, which is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 14.8%.
In comparison, the annual increase was just 11.8% in July of 2021, but it skyrocketed to
24.4% in August of the same year. Imports were responsible for 65.9% of all exports in
August of 2022, while exports were responsible for 34.1% of imports (Philippine
It is hard to dispute that existence a trade deficit, which increased to USD 4.82
billion in September 2022 from USD 3.81 billion in the same period of the previous year
(Philippine Statistics Authority, 2022). This was due to the fact that imports grew at a
faster rate than exports did during the same time period. Even if it is claimed that the
country is still in the process of developing and data are available indicating that there is

affected there exists a formal and informal framework for the decision-making
processes of various groups of agents and entities. The question of whether the
advance the goals of particular institutions and the common good is central to this
discussion. Importantly, "good" governance requires not only evaluating the moral and
social validity of the ostensible goals being pursued but also achieving such specific

The first critical angle of this aspect is the level of the effective pursuit of
differences in the political structure and function, namely the legislation and legal
practices. It is hard to realize the aim of enhanced economic cooperation throughout the
area, which, if successful, would eventually lead to total market integration across the
The Philippines receives more substantial assistance from other countries and
organizations as a result of its inclusion into the political system. Political integration
includes integration within political systems, integration with economic, social, and other
human systems, and the political processes that lead to such integration. The
expansion of the size of the economic market that the Philippines may profit from as a
result of increased political integration is one of the factors that contribute to the
country's overall economic development. When it comes to securing financial help from
other nations, political integration often plays a part in the negotiation process. As a
result of the integration of the political system in the Philippines, it is more likely that
citizens of other countries will offer assistance to the Filipino people when they have
been affected by natural disasters. This assistance may take the form of financial
Many nations desire to give aid by investing and conducting business in the
Philippines for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, Filipinos are highly adept
English-speaking workers. The labor force in the Philippines has a significant edge over
that of any other Asian country, particularly in terms of the quality of their work. With a
literacy rate of 94.6%, the Denmark Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that the Philippines
has a quick and steady supply of highly skilled and trainable workers to meet any
business need, including professional, technical, management, and trained staff. The
Philippine workforce's significant competitive edge is its extensive fluency in English. All
schools teach English, making the Philippines the world's third most English-speaking
country. Second, consider a strategic business location. The Philippines, which is in the
middle of Asia, has become a hub for investment and a good place to start growth
projects in the Asia-Pacific region in recent years. It is a crucial entrance point to more
than 500 million people in the ASEAN Market and is situated such that significant
capitals of the area can be reached by plane in an average of four hours of travel time.
Third, Policies that are Beneficial to the Macroeconomy Significant legislative changes
that may assist the Philippine economy in continuing its development have been issued
and put into effect by the government, which also enacted these reforms. It is predicted
that a comprehensive tax reform program, such as cuts to taxation, would raise
consumer spending and encourage economic activity, thus providing a consistent cash
stream for the government's ambitious infrastructure program. This is one example of
how the comprehensive tax reform program ensures a steady revenue flow. In the
meantime, the Ease of Doing Business Act is working toward its goal of reducing
with the economies of other countries throughout the process of political integration.
Even if increasing political integration increases the probability of gaining help from
other countries, there is still a possibility that those countries may ultimately come to
govern the nation that is in need of aid. Despite the notion that political integration
increases the chance of obtaining help, this is the case. Countries such as the
Philippines have a limited impact on politics on a global scale since their economies are
still in the process of expanding and are still in the process of growing. As a result, other
nations may be able to control the Philippines and utilize their larger power to try
achieve an advantage at the expense of the Filipino people. This would be at the
expense of the Philippines. Strong countries could even be able to exert their authority
on organizations.

Aside from that, ASEAN has offered the nation an increase in commerce and
has grown. According to Zaldy Patron (2017), Since the establishment of the ASEAN
Free Trade Area (AFTA), goods from other ASEAN countries can now enter the
Philippine market. This indicates that ASEAN integration may result in lower living costs,
better job chances, more access to education outside of the Philippines, and economic
with goods offered at lower prices. Sugar and rice are two examples of agricultural
products that may be purchased in nations such as Cambodia and India for a lower
price per unit than in other countries. In the end, Filipinos would opt to purchase
imported products that are more affordable than those that are made locally but cost
more money. One of the criticisms that has been leveled against the Asian Economic
Community (AEC) in the past is that it does not provide sufficient protection for small
and medium-sized firms. Inequality and problems with labor might make the situation in
the AEC even more difficult. It is possible that as a consequence of this issue, the
Philippines will have a difficult time procuring things of high quality, and it is also
possible that this issue would delay the political unity of the nation.
In conclusion, the globalization of both the economy and the political system has
provided our country with a number of benefits. The benefits that our nation and we
Filipinos are currently enjoying include an increase in the number of available jobs, a
decrease in the cost of goods and trades as well as an increase in their availability,
improved resources or commodities, a more robust economy, and improved
Filipinos stand to earn a great deal of chances and advantages as a result of global
drawbacks that accompany these advantages. There is a possibility that we may incur
more losses than gains. There might be setbacks but the bottom line is a progressive
