NEW RESOURCE ON PHILIPPINE FOREIGN RELATIONS : Forging a New Philippine Foreign Policy is a new website launched last February 21, 2012 by the Asian Center, University of the Philippines. We conceptualized the website mainly with the hope of stimulating more dynamic discourses on the present and future directions of the country's international relations, and building ever-expanding constituencies for related analysis and advocacy. The site also serves as a resource databank for users and registered members, who may access news, documents, and research papers, among others.
