Withdrawing from the WTO could allow the Philippines greater flexibility in setting its own trade policies and tariffs, potentially protecting local industries from foreign competition. It might also enable the government to prioritize domestic agricultural production and local businesses without adhering to international trade rules. However, such a move could lead to reduced foreign investment and trade opportunities, potentially harming economic growth and access to global markets. Ultimately, the decision would require careful consideration of both short-term advantages and long-term economic implications.

One key difference between OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and the WTO (World Trade Organization) is their primary focus. OPEC aims to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among member countries to stabilize oil markets, while the WTO focuses on regulating international trade and resolving trade disputes. Additionally, OPEC is a voluntary organization composed of oil-producing countries, while the WTO is a global institution with a broader membership that includes most countries in the world.
actually GATT is a part of WTO and WTO is a body under UNO
