PCCI raises concern about impact of new DENR order

THE Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) is concerned that local and foreign business communities would have second thoughts about doing business in the country, after the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) canceled the contracts of 75 mining companies.

“Due process and multi-stakeholder reviews were guaranteed by DENR Secretary Gina Lopez herself and other MICC members just days before the new cancellations orders,” PCCI President George Barcelon said on Wednesday. “She herself signed the MICC resolution and now it is not followed.”
