Government Of Japan Is Now Giving Chances For Filipinos To Avail Scholarship

As it is with the rising sun that touches everything with its rays, a lot of Japanese influences, subversive or otherwise, has touched many aspects of the lives of contemporary Filipinos.

Other than the fact that the Filipinos prefer to drive Japanese-made cars like Mitsubishi,Honda, Nissan, Suzuki and Toyota; and like to use household appliances and personal items with brand-names like Canon, Casio, National, Panasonic, Toshiba, Sanyo, Seiko and Sony, Ajinomoto has always been a popular item in their household.

And, not to be ignored was the widespread popularity of karate and judo in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1990s up to the present times, it is not only the products of Japanese technology and ingenuity that have brought the Filipinos intimately closer to the “Land of the Rising Sun” but many other things.

There are good reasons why the Japanese continue to have a very strong interconnections with the Filipinos.

Firstly, because of the fact that they have made a good impression on the Filipinos (despite what happened during WWII) as highly industrialized, economically progressive, and admirably disciplined.

Secondly, the Japanese way of life and advanced technology have wider exposure in the Philippine media.

Thus, Japan continues to be perceived by the Filipinos as an Asian model image of success, affluence and national pride.

And, thirdly, because Filipinos have always been beneficiaries of the durability and efficiency of Japanese industrial and consumer goods since the 1960s.
