[Title] => Favila expects to sign JPEPA by November
[Summary] => Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila is hoping to be able to sign the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) by November as both countries are now close to settling on earlier contentious issues.
There had earlier been fears that the conclusion of the JPEPA would be delayed to next year as the Philippine government sought better terms or at least similar to those granted by Japan last September to Thailand.
The JPEPA talks, in fact, had been suspended for some time and only resumed about three weeks ago.

[Title] => Japan cool on trade pact with Asean
[Summary] => There is a growing feeling among members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) that Japan is no longer keen on pursuing an ASEAN-Japan Free Trade Agreement.
Instead, ASEAN members have noticed that Japan is more actively negotiating bilateral FTAs with select ASEAN countries such as Thailand and the Philippines.
Thailand and Japan have already reached an agreement in principle on a Japan-Thailand Economic Partnership Agreement (JTEPA), while the Philippines and Japan are also slowly inching toward an agreement.
