Japan and Philippine had recently the agreement to open their labour market a little. Japan will get one thousand philippene nurses in two years. I heard that the hospitals in Japan don't have enough nurses now. So, I think the agreement is very good.
Now the population in Japan is decreasing, so my opinion is to open the labour market in Japan more to foreigners. We will need to get more labour power from foreign countries, and actually we know foreign workers have already been necessary in some industries. I hope Japanese government will have such agreements with much more countries.
For the agreement with Philippine, it doesn't seem to be an enough one. The worker from Philippine have to clear some high barriers to enter Japan; for example, the workers have to have a Japanese language lesson for a long time. I am not surtisfied with such barriers, but I can understand step-by-step immigrant policy is good for Japan because we aren't familier with immigrants. However, needless to say, the step should be accelerated.

Hey pat, your tangue and stomach might have changed during your long days abroad. That's why you have strange feelings to American food.
On the other hand, Japanese food culture started to Americanaized again. As you know, American meet was permitted to enter Japan again! Yoshinoya has been back at last!
