quality and green jobs, human development and poverty alleviation. We will be engaging
with the leaders of the economies of the Asia Pacific Region to agree on how we can achieve
food and energy security, economic inclusion over micro, small and medium enterprises, women,
indigenous people and other segments of our economy whose potential remains to be unlocked
through digitalization and innovation and sustainable development and addressing the climate
change crisis. I will meet with business leaders and conduct Round Table discussions on the
APEC sidelines to ones again invite Investments to seek business opportunities, promote our
exports and discuss our economic agenda. At the APEC CEO summit which is the annual
gathering of top CEOs from across APEC Region, I have been invited to deliver the keynote
remarks on intentional equity in sustainability to share the Philippine experience in ensuring
inclusivity on our path to bringing a green economy to the Philippines. There will be several
engagements with private sector representatives from the APEC Business Advisory Council or
ABAC to discuss how we can use public-private partnerships to fulfil our agenda in innovative
and sustainable development, finance, and Economic and Business reform.

5. argument
In academic writing, you can never establish a point
without an argument. In fact, making an argument—
expressing a point of view on a subject and
supporting it with evidence—is the aim of academic
writing. It is a reason or set of reasons given with the
aim of letting others believe with you that an action or
an idea is right or wrong backed up with evidence to
support it. It has premises and a conclusion (claim).

It is a proposition statement in an argument that
rationalizes or supports the conclusion by providing
