Abstract/Summary
The increase in competition among the developing countries causes the need for more foreign investors. Thus Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has decided to enter into a bilateral preferential trade treaty with Japan Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi called the Japan Philippine Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA). However, the provisions on the Agreement are alleged to be unconstitutional. Specific provisions on private land ownership and the utilization and enjoyment of the nation's marine wealth are suspected to be an infringement to the Constitution. Through a critical review on the issue, the researchers will resolve the problem.
