The Philippine trade potential to its top fifteen partner countries namely Japan, United States of America (USA), Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Germany, Netherlands, Malaysia, Viet Nam, France, Indonesia, Malta, and
United Arab Emirates (UAE) was analyzed using the dynamic gravity model of trade. The model explained the effect of exogenous variables such as gross domestic product, distance, population, exchange rate, exports, imports and annual trade.

With the use of panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) regression analysis, results showed that the exogenous variables yielded significant effects to exports and annual trade. However, in the case of imports, only the population of Philippines and the partner country, gross domestic product of partner countries, and distance had significant effects. Furthermore, the negative relationship of distance to exports, imports, and annual trade confirmed the assumption of Gravity Model that the closer the distance of the economy, the more it trades.

In terms of trade potential, Philippines had the highest potential to exports with France and imports with Malta. On the other hand, trade was overtraded to Japan, Hongkong, China, Netherlands and Indonesia because of over exports. Likewise, results revealed that there was trade divergence in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Thailand, Germany, Netherlands, Indonesia, and UAE because of over imports.
