The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), the country’s largest business organization joined with other business groups in supporting President Aquino’s call for peace in Mindanao.
PCCI President Alfredo M. Yao said in a an statement last February 28 that “the country could best honor the sacrifice and bravery of the 44 Special Action Force (SAF) commandos who died in a clash with Moro rebels in Mamasapano, Maguindanao province, on January 25 by bringing peace and prosperity to Mindanao.”
He also said that, “The best way to promote peace is to expose our brothers and sisters in the affected areas in Mindanao to the prosperity that we enjoy and which they should be sharing”.
“If we are distracted in securing peace in Mindanao, we will isolate our brothers and sisters in the affected areas from benefiting from the gains of the economy,” he further said.
He urged the leadership of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to help in the rebuilding of public trust and confidence in the group.
“Let us give peace a chance. Besides we will never solve the problem of poverty if we do not have peace and order,” Yao said.
Earlier, Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry Foundation Inc.; Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP); Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines (Finex); Makati Business Club (MBC); Management Association of the Philippines (MAP); Mindanao Business Council; and the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) jointly signed a statement reaffirming their full support to President Aquino and the peace process in the light of various calls from some sectors for the president’s resignation and launching of all-out-war in Mindanao.
