To help rebuild the war-torn city of Marawi, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry consulted with a core group of the business community to form the Bangon Marawi Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Most of the rehabilitation must be done by Marawi residents themselves, the chamber said. A Bangon Marawi Chamber affiliated with the PCCI was critical to the Marawi business community to effectively and efficiently form networks with investors (local and foreign), international and domestic fellow chambers, and partnerships with local government and the national state agencies, it added.

The PCCI is the country's largest business organization and is recognized as the "Voice of Philippine Business." Its leaders and members advocate for an economic environment that enables companies to compete for and transform opportunities for creating more employment, further increasing their revenues, and sharing the benefits of economic growth.

PCCI president George T. Barcelon met with a core group from the Marawi business community on Nov. 9 at the Plaza Alemania Hotel in Iligan City to discuss the critical concerns of business enterprises in Marawi and the possible intervention and role of the national chamber.
