A hundred and twenty-one years has passed since our forefathers bound their fates, their lives and their fortunes to proclaim the independence of the Filipino people. It was the most significant event in our country’s history. Not only did we put an end to more than three centuries of subservience but we also resolved to determine the course of our own destiny as a nation. But the freedom we achieved back then was not without cost. The tree of liberty blossomed on these lands because it was nourished by the sweat and blood or our patriots, heroes and martyrs. Let us commit ourselves to ensure that their sacrifices have not been in vain and that their dream of a truly independent Philippines - whose people live freely in a secure, stable and prosperous society - will be achieved within our lifetimes. May we have a solemn and meaningful observance.

What the Philippines needs to develop is a more aggressive and self-confident nationalism, one that manipulates and takes advantage of the opportunities that the outside world offers-an “inward culture and an outward economy” rather than the reverse (Intal 1987). In fact, the situation in which the Philippines finds itself today is not so different from the situation characterizing many of the industrializing East Asian countries before their rapid growth took place, although none had the foreign indebtedness that the Philippines now shoulders. Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore each had to deal with an unfavorable economic event that drastically limited their options and forced them to focus on export growth. For Taiwan and Korea it was the imminent reduction in U.S.

Overcoming Roadblocks to the New Silk Road - How China Can Win Over the Filipino People by Following Japan’S Investment Strategies in Vietnam
A Publication from Creative Connect International Publisher Group 11 OVERCOMING ROADBLOCKS TO THE NEW SILK ROAD - HOW CHINA CAN WIN OVER THE FILIPINO PEOPLE BY FOLLOWING JAPAN’S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES IN VIETNAM Written by Brigitte Ann Castro 3rd Year J.D. Student, California Western School of Law Introduction While news outlets have been discussing the cooling of trade relations between the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and the United States (“U.S.”), there is a warmer reception for China on the other side of the world: the Republic of the Philippines (“Philippines”). The answer as to why the Philippines is welcoming, even after winning in an arbitration against China regarding control of the South China Sea,1 lies in one word: “DuterteNomics.”2 The Philippines government introduced this term to describe President Rodrigo Duterte’s (“Duterte”) economic programs and policies for bringing Philippines to the forefront of economic growth in Southeast Asia.3 Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar discussed a main program of DuterteNomics called the Build Build Build Infrastructure Plan (“BBB”), which is meant “to [solve the puzzle] on how to grow the economy, reduce poverty and [ease] congestion in Metro Manila.”4 It appears that the final puzzle piece lies with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, also called the One Belt One Road Initiative (“BRI”).5 China’s ambitious BRI has received mixed 1 The South China Sea Arbitration (Phil. v.
