MAP urges Senate anew to ratify RCEP

THE Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) has again urged the Senate to ratify the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement 'without further delay.'

The Philippines and Myanmar are the only signatories yet to confirm the 15-member trade deal which took effect at the start of 2022. Then-president Rodrigo Duterte ratified the agreement last year but the Senate failed to add its approval as required by law.
