DAVAO CITY—Several local business groups, including foreign chambers of commerce, welcomed the lifting of the state of national emergency in Mindanao, saying it would augur well for more investments to pour into the island. 'To me it's not just important, it is a milestone,' said Nilo Claudio, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (CCCP)-Davao, of the issuance of Proclamation No. 298 that was signed by President Marcos on July 25. CCCP is one of the foreign chambers that have been seeking the help of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) to help change the negative perception of the security situation in Mindanao.
