The commitment of Japan not to export toxic wastes to the Philippines will be a major factor that will convince members of the Senate to drop their objections to the Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement (JPEPA), Minority Leader Aquilino Q. Pimentel, Jr. (PDP-Laban) said Sunday.



Pimentel said, however, that as far as he knew, Malacañang has not yet transmitted the JPEPA to the Senate since it was signed in Helsinki, Finland by the Japanese and Philippine government in September, 2006.
