ARMM sets 6th Business Congress on Sept.

The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Business Council (ABC) finally set the 6th ARMM Business Congress on September 4-5, 2007, to be held in Cotabato City.

According to ARMM Business Council Chairman Datu Haron Bandila, 'this gathering is diverse from the past congresses.’ He jolted, “this two-day congress will be attended by none other than the president of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), Mr. Sammy Lim.”

With the theme, ‘Expanding Business Linkages with other Chambers Responsive to Peace Efforts,’ the confab will be participated in by various businessmen and several chambers around the region including the cities of Marawi and Lamitan.

Moreover, Chairman Bandila emphasized that the highlight of the Congress is the signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the ABC and Makati Business Club (MBC).

“This MOA signing is the outcome of the recently-concluded activity in Makati dubbed as ‘Forum on Doing Business in the ARMM” – an emblem that ABC will finally be affiliated to MBC.”

Chairman Bandila concluded with glee, “this fold of events is a clear manifestation that amidst conflicts in other parts of the region, our entrepreneurs persist in doing business inside and outside ARMM.” (BPI-ARMM)
