- The most essential goal for me as a Filipino youth is to speed economic growth, social
improvement, and cultural development. This goal will assist a country like the
Philippines much, in my opinion. The Philippines presently has an emerging economy
that is continuously growing. However, if this goal is met effectively, the Philippines'
economy will surge, putting our country on level with other major countries such as the
United States and the United Kingdom. The Philippines' diplomatic relations would
improve as a result of trade and imports of Philippine-made goods. Furthermore, the goal

ESSAY:

ASEAN Integration was founded with the goal of promoting economic progress. Its goal is to
eradicate global concerns such as poverty and prevent economic breakdowns. This brings together
countries that are part of the integration to make life easier for everyone.

The goal of ASEAN integration is to provide member countries with a free and equitable footing in
development. However, the effort would be difficult for the Philippines because the taxes paid by ASEAN
countries will be reduced. Leaving that aside, ASEAN integration will be a significant step forward in
terms of the country's destiny. Being a part of it will provide a significant boost to the Philippines' trading,
business, and economic growth. The integration allows all members unfettered access to trading, labor,
goods, and investments. With these benefits in place, any country's economy will be able to grow at a
steady and consistent rate. As a result, difficulties are resolved one at a time.

Finally, if ASEAN integration is maintained, it has the potential to contribute to more convenient
and peaceful growth for the participating countries. Its objectives are defined with the intention of
providing advantages for everyone. Being in a country that is a part of the Integration offers me a sense of
relief as a Filipino.
