This paper reviews the progress of the Philippines in meeting its commitments. The
progress is largely reflected in the AEC Scorecard, an analytical tool in tracking the
achievements of member countries which was developed by ASEAN for this purpose.
The framework of the AEC Blueprint and mechanics of the ASEAN Scorecard are
described in Appendix 1. As of this writing, only the Philippine scorecard for the first
batch of priority actions was available. The official data is supplemented by a study
conducted by the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (Corbett and
Umezaki 2009)
