    The document discusses how globalization has impacted local communities in the Philippines. Specifically, it discusses how trade has historically been an important part of the economy for the Moro people in Mindanao, but colonial policies disrupted long-standing trade networks and imposed taxes that weakened their competitive advantage. While a barter trade system was established in the 1970s, it mainly benefited large capitalists and not ordinary citizens. Now, the Moro people's presence in global trade is marginal and limited to a few industries like pearl trading. Overall, the document shows how globalization has both positively and negatively influenced local economies and communities in the Philippines over time.

    sensational national and international news recently. Do they talk or
    somehow pertain to any aspects of Globalization? Cite and explain.

    The Impact of Covid 19 on globalization

    The way we work and earn a living has changed as a result of globalization. As a result,
    trade and travel have been identified as important determinants of disease
    transmission. Furthermore, global interconnectedness has been encouraged by the
    increase of urbanization and the closer integration of the world economy. As a result,
    globalization has emerged as a vital disease transmission mechanism.

    Globalization's influence was assessed in terms of mobility, environment, and


    healthcare systems. Individual mobility and its magnitude were determined using airline
    and seaport trade data as well as travel information. The workers, event cancellations,
    food and agriculture, research institutions, and supply chain were all used to quantify
    the economic effects. The healthcare capability of countries was evaluated by looking at
    healthcare system metrics and country readiness. Via travel, event cancellation, job
    population, food chain, academia, and healthcare capability, the pandemic has put an
    unprecedented burden on the world economy, healthcare, and globalization. Some
    countries were more vulnerable than others, according to the PVI findings. South Africa
    and Egypt were the most vulnerable countries in Africa; Russia, Germany, and Italy were
    the most vulnerable in Europe; India, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey were the
    most vulnerable countries in Asia and Oceania; and Brazil, the United States, Chile,
    Mexico, and Peru were the most vulnerable countries in the Americas. The effects on
    mobility, the economy, and healthcare have only recently begun to emerge.

    2. How about in your locality? Can you think of recent events or current
    affairs which give you the idea that the trace of Globalization is existent
    even in the smallest units of our economy and society? Justify.

    Moros of the Southern Philippines: Issues, Challenges, and Responses


    Trade and industry globalization Because of its geographical position and abundant
    natural resources, Mindanao has been a magnet for foreign trade even before the
    colonial era. Before the arrival of the colonialists, a thriving trade existed between Moro
    traders, particularly from Sulu, and the Indo-Malay peninsula, and China. Sulu was also
    known for its popular pearl market (Munap 2002). The arrival of the Spaniards cut off
    this thriving and lucrative trade, branding these merchants as pirates and enemies of
    the colonial state. Soon after, colonial policies imposed crippling taxes and duties, such
    Rr T. Diaz 1CED

    as tariffs and customs duties imposed by the successor American colonial government,
    further eroding the Moros' economic and trade advantages. 106 K. Miichi et al.,
    Southeast Asian Muslims in the Era of Globalization, Japan International Cooperation
    Agency Research Institute 2015 Carmen Abu Bakar The pirates became smugglers in the
    year 107. The Philippine government proceeded to turn the Moros' commercial
    activities into a criminal act, causing the Moros' maritime trading activities to decline
    even further. The Moros' competitive advantage was weakened by the entry of Western
    commerce and trading practices, which was followed by changes in their political status,
    from sovereign sultanates to oppressed minorities. This status was bitterly resented and
    fought against. Sulu merchants ignored the government's restrictions before the
    implementation of martial law in 1972, and trading (now known as smuggling)
    continued between Sulu and Sabah. Cigarettes and other trade items were freely sold in
    the market, but police raids and naval chases soon took their toll, and this operation
    dwindled. It's understandable why merchants will refuse to pay the tariffs to escape the
    repercussions. Perhaps the Moros' defiance stemmed from the fact that trade had
    become a free enterprise for them. It was too much for them to be subjected to duties,
    arrests, and persecution by an alien government (which the Maranao of Lanao referred
    to as gobierno as sarwang a tao), and defiance became a form of resistance. The
    government authorized a highly controlled barter trade, regulated by the Southern
    Philippines Development Agency (SPDA), in 1973 to allow Moro traders to buy and sell
    goods to and from Malaysia, especially Labuan and Singapore, without tariffs or customs
    duties. This barter trade scheme was codified in Presidential Decree (PD) No. 93, which
    outlined the "who, what, where, and how" for Moro traders to participate (for more
    details, see Munap 2002). Because of the war raging in Mindanao at the time, this was
    part of the government's peace concession efforts. For a while, barter trade worked, but
    it benefited only urban centers and big capitalists, not the majority of ordinary citizens,
    especially those living in remote areas. Big capitalists from outside Mindanao rapidly
    took over the barter trade by massive capitalization, essentially eliminating Moros from
    the trading loop once more. While traders continued to sell goods from Malaysia,
    Indonesia, and Singapore in specified centers in Zamboanga and Jolo, paying daily tariffs
    and duties, the barter trade system was officially declared to be over in 1986. Moros'
    presence in global trade is currently marginal and restricted to a few industries. One is
    the pearl trade, which has a stronghold in the Greenhills Shopping Center (GSC) in San
    Juan, Metro Manila, where Maranao traders have built a stronghold.
