                    [Summary] => Negotiations between the Philippines and Japan have resumed following a break caused by the filing of a petition seeking more transparency regarding the terms of the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA).


This was confirmed by Senior Trade Undersecretary Thomas Aquino who explained that while negotiations have resumed, the negotiating team are enjoined not to conclude the agreement.


Thus, conclusion of the JPEPA by July, Aquino admitted, may still be a "touch and go" matter.
