Governance and Globalization

Reflection 2

Last Saturday, May 14, 2022, I learned about Globalization in Public Administration with
Professor Roque. Globalization is ushering in far-reaching changes in the political,
economic, social, and cultural spheres across the world. Globalization refers to the
multiplicity of linkages and interconnections between the States and societies which
make up the present world system. It describes how events, decisions, and activities in
one part of the world have significant consequences for individuals and communities in
quite distant parts of the world. On the one hand, it defines a set of processes that
embrace most of the globe or operate worldwide, hinting at a spatial connection.
However, on the other hand, it also implies intensifying the levels of interaction,
interconnectedness, or interdependence between the States and societies, which
constitute the world community.

One of the centers of our discussion was Governance and Governing. According to Prof.
Roque, governance is the repositioning of the current administration, while Governing is
the management or control of the activities of a particular country. Since the
government has finished the National Election, she explained the advantages and
disadvantages of having a new administration that will lead the country. Especially
today, we face many trials due to the pandemic and war with the nearby country.

In addition to Globalization, Globalization is the growth of international trade,

investment, technology, and information worldwide. It is the merge of all Asian
countries with each other. Technology is a significant factor in Globalization. Advanced
and modern technology can help each nation access borders and top increase the
economic growth of each country. Globalization expands more in social, cultural, legal,
and political. Each country has its cultural Globalization, and they represent and
exchange with other countries the new ideas and values of their country. They also
share the development of their country and help some countries if needed.

In the Philippines, Globalization is vital in how it works in the economy and technology
development. Globalization helps each country to have cooperated to help each other
and be united. Globalization is formed to process goods, services, and people
worldwide. It works for every people to move and work in a different country as well as
the goods of each country can also be imported and exported to a different country and
destination. It helps every nation develop a global economy and increase the income of
each country. However, Globalization can have a disadvantage and an advantage for
each country.
The advantage of Globalization in the Philippines

Globalization can have more opportunities to increase employment. This

advantage of Globalization can help the Philippines increase Filipino people's
employment because of the opportunities that many foreign countries put up a business
here, and many job vacancies for Filipino are available. There are a lot of multinational
companies that open up a business in the Philippines and hire many Filipino people to
work at their companies. Also, Globalization has an advantage in opening jobs abroad.
Many overseas Filipino workers work abroad and can successfully work in another
country. Because of the World Trade Organization of the nation, each person can work
in a different country and have the opportunity to live there and be a citizen in the
country they live in. In the Philippines, foreign companies are built up here, and many
Filipino is now working in foreign companies. This means that Globalization positively
affects the Philippines and the economy of the Philippines.
 
Globalization can also help the Philippine's education to improve more. In the
Philippines, when it comes to education, we improve more and offer higher education
and skilled people. Education in the Philippines is now recognized outside the country.
Moreover, many foreigners are going here to study because the quality of education is
higher while the cost is lower and can accommodate all foreigners who want to study in
the Philippines. One reason also is the lower cost of living while studying here. The
Filipino people are intelligent and can communicate well with other foreigners. Speaking
English in the Philippines is a natural language of Filipino because it is one of the
subjects of all schools. The Philippines have large outsourcing foreign companies,
especially in Metro Manila.
 
Globalization improves the flow of information technology. In terms of
information technology in the Philippines flows very well and helps the Filipinos have
knowledge and updates about the latest technology that all countries use. The impact
of Globalization on the Philippine's technology brings more positive effects because it
helps to increase the Philippines' economy. Because of the information technology with
the latest and modern use, it improves the flow of all company products and minimizes
every Filipino's work.
 
Globalization improves the quality of goods and services. Being connected to
another country means good to our country. It helps to do good quality and give the
best services to them so that we bring dignity to the Filipino people. Improving our
services and giving more quality goods and products to other countries can boost the
Philippines and its nation. The Philippines can offer a good quality product outside the
country, and Filipino people can serve their best to others. Through Globalization, the
service of goods and products is quickly served and done to deliver to each respective
destination.
The disadvantage of Globalization in the Philippines

In some areas, if there is the advantage of Globalization, there is also a disadvantage.

Some of it is the distraction of the Philippines environment and the effect on human
nature. For example, Globalization is also not good for exporting rice products in
agriculture. Because we all know that Filipino farmers can produce rice if the
government will help them by providing a modern technology that can create or
produce as many rice grains every quarter of the year. The Philippines has a lot of
natural resources, and if the government teaches all Filipinos how to value and preserve
our natural resources, we do not need to export some product to other countries.
Filipino is talented and hardworking. If each Filipino supports the government of the
Philippines, we can be the number one of the wealthiest country in Asia. However, the
effect of Globalization sometimes helps Filipino people to be lazy and not productive
because of the modern technology it has to give.

 Also, in terms of Filipino who works abroad, many Filipino workers have faced
many problems and are stranded in a foreign country and far away from the
support of the Philippine government.
 One effect of Globalization on the Philippines is the lack of Filipino traditions and
values that younger Filipino does not appreciate and do not even practice in their
daily lives. As a result, they become more familiar with Western mentality than
being a pure Filipino.
 Because of Globalization, the effect of these on all Filipino people sometimes is
not good, especially in the health of Filipino like the rapid spread of AIDS that
mostly comes from outside the country. Filipino who has sexual intercourse with
a foreigner sometimes gets this disease. It can spread fast to other people
without their knowledge.
 Social media also has an immense side effect in the Philipines regarding cyber
crimes and the increase of sex videos.
 The standard of living of a Filipino has a negative effect because of Globalization.
Some moral values that most Filipino has were forgotten. Some young Filipinos
are now liberated like other countries in their living—a lot of them, especially
those couples who are living in with marriage.

Social Globalization

This term describes the relationships between communities and states and how they
were created by the geographical spread of ideas and social norms at local and regional
levels. We focus on issues and the effects of Social Globalization in other countries
during our discussion. We have discussed the Movement of Capital, which means the
investment of other countries in one country or the transfer of capital between
countries, either by companies or individuals. It also defined the definition of Market
Globalization, which means crucifixion of taxes that cause adverse effects in our
country. Market Globalization is a term used to refer to the process of promoting and
selling goods and services in an increasingly interdependent and integrated global
economy. It entails adjusting marketing strategies to adapt to business conditions in
other countries. For example, a clothing company may source its raw materials from
India, have factories in Vietnam, and retail in the UK. This company is also a part of the
global marketplace. Similarly, companies with offices in different countries are also
tapping into the global marketplace.

The following are the international sample of Globalization: 

 -Executive Order of traveling Muslim in the USA country 

 -Laissez-faire leave as alone policy
 -Cap-and-trade 

Executive Order of traveling Muslim in the USA country 

Executive Order 13769, titled protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the
United States, labeled the "Muslim ban" by critics or commonly referred to as the
Trump travel ban, was a controversial executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Except for the extent to which various courts blocked it, it was in effect from January
27, 2017, until March 6, 2017, when it was superseded by Executive Order 13780.
Executive Order 13769 lowered the number of refugees to be admitted into the United
States in 2017 to 50,000, suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for
120 days, suspended the entry of Syrian refugees indefinitely, directed some cabinet
secretaries to suspend entry of those whose countries do not meet adjudication
standards under U.S. immigration law for 90 days, and included exceptions on a case-
by-case basis.

Laissez-faire leave as alone policy

Laissez-faire is a policy of minimum governmental interference in the economic affairs

of individuals and society. In fact, Prof. Roque gives an example of Filipino investors in
Panama, and they are the following personality: 

 Henry Sy Jr.
 Andrew Tan
 Eduardo Angara
 Irene Marcos-Araneta
 Consuelo "Jamby" Madrigal
 Eugenio Lopez III
 Inigo Zobel 
   
Cap-and-trade 
 
Cap and trade reduce emissions, such as those from power plants, by limiting pollution
and creating a market. Emissions trading, also known as 'cap and trade,' is a cost-
effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To incentivize firms to reduce their
emissions, a government sets a cap on the maximum level of emissions and creates
permits, or allowances, for each unit of emissions allowed under the cap.
Countries or regions that have already passed cap-and-trade: This includes the
European Union, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, California, and Quebec. They
have all set hard limits on a significant portion of their carbon emissions. Different
countries have different targets and exemptions for various sectors.

The Effect of Globalization in the Philippines

Globalization can help Filipino people to know the international status and rights of each
country nationwide. The Philippines are also friendly to a foreign country, and they now
stay connected in terms of the exchange of products and some investment.
Globalization also has a big part in improving local and social culture in the Philippines.
It also connects relationships in other countries through investments and some business
opportunities.

The impact of Globalization in the Philippines changes a lot in terms of culture, values,
and economy. It also helps the improvement of infrastructure in the Philippines. It gives
more opportunities to all Filipinos to work abroad and helps each country stay
connected. Globalization has also helped to let people know about global warming,
climate change, and the natural resources of the Philippines.

The effect of Globalization can help flexible communication and greater understanding
in terms of improvement and development of each country's condition. It also helps the
local and international market to create flexible labor across the miles. Globalization
affects the international market and enhances economic growth.
