The Joint Foreign Chambers of the Philippines (JFCP) expressed support to the proposed Philippine Immigration Act now pending in Congress, saying it will draw more tourists and investors into the country.
In a meeting with Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Marcelino Libanan, JFCP officials said the proposed bill would encourage more foreigners to visit and do business in the country as it makes the immigration law more responsive to world trends in tourism and economic development.
Speaking for the group, Robert Sears, American Chamber of Commerce executive director, said the proposed law provides for additional visa classifications for foreigners, thus making it easier for them to get visas according to their needs, activities, professions or line of business.
Sears also said a new immigration act would make the country an attractive magnet for tourism and economic developments as foreigners wanting to stay and put up busineses would have wider choices to choose what type of visas they wanted. FULL STORY
