APEC: Just Like Any Game of Chess Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by TOPH, Philippines Oct 26, 2003
Poverty   Opinions

  


APEC Business Leaders should not view Cancun as the end of the chess match. Why should it end when there are many other things to do? Juan Dela Cruz is a novice player in this match; he has his alternatives to choose the move that could give him the optimal economic result. But his actions are limited on his experience. It should be the goal of Juan Dela Cruz not to win the game but rather to have a fair game; such goal should also be transcended in other countries. I believe a country have to make its sacrifices. If the Philippines are the pawn that would empower the whole Asian region once it is eaten, then let it be so. It is not winning the game that counts rather, playing it.

For in reality, countries are all kings and pawns at the same time. While they have an advocacy for preservation, a more significant advocacy that would promote development and regional unity is sacrifice.
