Yokosuka Council on Asia-Pacific Studies (YCAPS), www.ycaps.org

I got to know them tungod lang jud sa Getting to Know Japan series last November 30, 2021. I think ang webinar then was called The Modern Japanese Economy. I distinctly remembered that the speaker, who was not an economist but a trade negotiator for the US said that he's not going to present graphs that will show something was going up or going down. After that I joined another webinar on Japanese Media. Sila Paul and family man gud are in Yokosuka, Japan as of the moment. He just retired from the US Navy last December 2020. Actually this is an organization around the US Navy in Japan, a nonprofit organization, and operating lang jud at the pleasure of the base commander kuno. Coz one complaint lang daw to the base commander and their activity would be scrapped. Testament daw sa ilang strength as an organization nga there is somebody like me who is from the Philippines nga willing moaffiliate nila. As a nonprofit organization, syempre if I join them, it will be on a volunteer basis. They operate gud through funding. Diha mn xay gimention nga ICAS (Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies, https://icas.tuj.ac.jp/), part of Temple University Japan campus during the online info session. I asked jud like is there a timeframe if I ask to join them. Wala mn daw. Basta kay be responsible lang daw sa mga activities. Ang akong gusto lng ani is a possible tieup lang jud and exposure lagi for our IS students, particularly those majoring in Asian and American studies. Kay 2 in 1 n gud with this di b, the Japanese and American economies? Or makahibaw n mi about the ties between USA and Japan pud. Go go go Doki!
