The Japan Philippine Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA) has been ratified by the Senate without much dissent. And two Davao City councilors are up in arms against it. First district counciloors Leo Avila III and Peter Laviña have criticized the ratification of JPEPA and have expressed their disappointment over senators who were absent during the ratification. Avila argues that the agreement is beneficial only to the Japan and would be the Philippines at a disadvantage.
