  • Enhancing the ASEAN Community Through Town Twinning Arrangements
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2017 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines June 20 to 22, 2017 Enhancing the ASEAN Community through Town Twinning Arrangements Ma. Divina Gracia Z. Roldan Political Science Department, De La Salle University [email protected] Abstract: Philippine external relations is commonly perceived as the sole domain of national government. Yet given the move towards Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) integration and in light of current global trends where diverse players take on a role in regional affairs, there are increased opportunities for the Philippines to strengthen ties with its neighbors not only on a national but sub- national level. This paper explores how the town twinning or sister city program provides a mechanism for Philippine local government units to establish links with their ASEAN counterparts to promote trade, technical, cultural, and educational exchanges. Using document analysis and a case study approach, the paper discusses the processes and outcomes of town twinning arrangements with Cebu as a case in point. While there is much potential for increasing inflows of material resources and human capital through this mechanism, it is noted that the Philippine local government units have not maximized the benefits of town twinning arrangements within ASEAN. Only four Philippine cities namely, Bacolod, Cebu, Puerto Princesa, and Vigan have sister cities with only two ASEAN countries which are Malaysia and Indonesia. The paper argues that there is a need to impress upon policymakers that non-state actors such as, local government units, can be effective players in bringing about stronger ties in the region by means of enhanced bilateral cooperation among ASEAN towns and cities.
