Petition filed to declare Mindanao idle lands as ecozones

Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) Director General Charito Plaza raised a petition asking President Duterte to declare all public lands in Mindanao as economic zones to ensure progress and development in the country’s second largest island.
