The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), for one, is looking at establishing more economic zones on the island. Potential zone sites are Bukidnon, Agusan del Sur and del Norte, Davao City, Sulu, Sultan Kudarat, Surigao del Sur, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Sur and del Norte, Davao del Norte, North Cotabato, Zamboanga del Sur and del Norte, Zamboanga Sibugay, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and Maguindanao. Business opportunities in Mindanao will be in the spotlight in The Manila Times virtual forum, "Mindanao: Mind it now," today, December 7. The Times pointed out that while several foreign multinationals and Filipino conglomerates already have operations in Mindanao, there are untapped acres of undeveloped land on the island. Assistant Secretary Mindanao Development Authority Deputy Executive Director Romeo Montenegro will be one of the speakers at the forum.
