The source of Asian regionalism is economic interaction. Asian economies have grown not only richer, but also closer together, as a result of successful, out-oriented economic method. There are several factors that contributes to the said growth. How it all started? Since 1989, when the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference was established as a regional institution for economic cooperation, momentum for regionalism in Asia has gradually grown, leading to institutionalized regional progress. The development and use of multilateral intergovernmental institutions to share information, formulate, endorse and enforce common rules and regulations, and settle disputes are all examples of regionalism. The majority of memberships are based on common geographic space. The inclusion of regional income rise, removal of trade barriers, and advances in production and transportation technologies are some of the factors that influence the progress of Asian regionalism. Until the Asian financial crisis of 1997, Asian regionalism progressed gradually. Affected economies were unable to deal with major issues, and they learned that existing regional institutions were ineffective in either protecting or assisting the region’s recovery. There were two reasons for this inefficiency. First, the current mechanisms remained primarily regular debate forums that were unable to create the necessary resources when they were required. Second, Southeast Asian countries lacked faith in existing regional processes, believing they supported American and Western economic interests at the expense of regional government. The global economic crisis, which had a mixed influence on Asian regionalism, was by far the most major impediment. However, progress toward practical cooperation in trans-Pacific and East Asian regional frameworks has been slow at all. Regional economic integration faces unsolved obstacles, while multilateral security cooperation frameworks remain elusive.

Recently, the huge challenge that affects regional integration is the pandemic. There is a need of discussion between leaders regarding the impact of pandemic on the region’s linkages in the areas of trade and global value chains, cross-border investments, finance, and people’s adaptability. Despite the continuous progress of Asian regionalism, it is necessary to understand more about how economy can recover because of the aftermath of COVID-19 through regional cooperation. In general, regional cooperation and structural reforms can help Asian economies generate solutions and put their attention to aspects that has a potential contribution for the recovery of economic integration.

Most religious affiliation is becoming a business I don't know if this is true but I really cringe with those products offered with a label "ligtas points" na evry purchase is you'll have points sa langit like?? It doesn't work that way. And also yeah those who endorse politicians in exchange of money even they kept on denying it, that's reality.
