During the Business Law Conference, plenty of speakers talked about the different aspects that are going to be affected by the ASEAN Integration, and this encompasses most especially the industry of trade, where the export and import of goods of ASEAN member countries will be freely done. However, as a student of the De La Salle University, College of Business, the so-called integration between the ASEAN member countries which will greatly and positively (?) affect the trade industry, as well as a person aspiring to belong to a profession whose practice cannot be done somewhere other than the Philippines, I’d like to believe there would be very significant effects, as well as those otherwise, that would be brought to the ASEAN member country to which I belong to, i.e. Philippines. From what I’ve learned in some of my law subjects, one of the things that a lawyer-or a future lawyer-must take note of is that you can’t practice in countries to which you are not a resident and a citizen to and to which you have not taken the BAR in, and this is justifiable, agreeable, and-most of all-crucial. But what is mind boggling to me, and if my co-aspirants are concerned, is the possibility that there would be sudden tweaks or alterations to the rules if ever the ASEAN Integration were implemented. These questions I’ve learned to ask all in an event I helped organize. In organizing the Business Law Conference, my position, as the team head for the Operations Committee, which handles the entries, processing and paperwork of the event, has learned to work on the spot and strategize as to what I am supposed to do. There were some instances where I had improvised on the spot especially when the initial plan doesn’t turn out to be viable. Like what I learned in STRATMA, it’s important to not only have one plan, or two plans, but plans that are enough to cover the entire alphabet, because we won’t always be ready for the things that we do
