Asean Integration

The ASEAN Integration has been a major topic of public discussion in recent years in the Philippines. While Filipinos have an overview of what ASEAN may face when established in 2015, further discussion is still needed to fully understand the goals of integration. In 1967, five Southeast Asian nations established ASEAN to strengthen regional economic and social stability through cooperation, based on their historical and cultural ties. ASEAN has since expanded to ten member nations and adopted frameworks for political-security, economic, and socio-cultural cooperation aimed at building a prosperous, peaceful community through mutual assistance and respect between members.

The ASEAN Integration has been

one of the central issues of public


debates in the recent years. Although
these have given Filipinos an overview
of what ASEAN may face once the
regional community is established in
2015, a thorough discussion about
ASEAN is still imperative to fully
comprehend what this process of
integration seeks to accomplish.
On August 8, 1967, Bangkok,
Thailand hosted the first convergence of
five Southeast nations, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and
Thailand. These countries, recognizing
their historical and cultural ties,
common difficulties and struggles, and
mutual interests, established the
Association of Southeast Nations
(ASEAN) through the ASEAN (Bangkok)
Declaration.
They found it fitting that with the
aspects they mutually share, joining
forces would better assist them in
strengthening the economic and social
stability of the region. The alliance,
having five members at that time, was
later on joined by the Brunei Darussalam
in 1984, Vietnam in 1995, Lao PDR and
Myanmar in 1997, and Cambodia in
1999.
