The increasing globalization of economies has resulted in the internationalization of higher education institutions as a natural and inevitable consequence.  Internationalization is commonly understood to be an institutions ready response and/or reaction to cope with the global academic environment (Bernardo, 2003 Altbach and Knight, 2007).  This systematic literature review examined the different internationalization programs implemented by various higher education institutions in the Philippines.  This study identified and reviewed twelve (12) peer-reviewed articles published from years 2011 to 2021.  The article review focused on answering three driving questions: (1) What are the different motivations and processes used by various HEIs when it comes to internationalization? (2) What initiatives in the areas of instruction, research, and community extension and production were considered by various HEIs in the internationalization of education? and (3) What institutional guidelines may be used to effectively improve the current Philippine educational system in order to prepare for internationalization of education?  The purpose of this review is to identify differences, opportunities, and omissions in the literature so that scholars, administrators, and policymakers in the field of international higher education can be better informed.
