MANILA, Philippines — The Federation of Free Workers (FFW) on Wednesday said the nonextension of martial law in Mindanao would help remove any doubt among potential investors about setting up shop there.

“It means the coming of jobs as a result of the removal of fear of terror, the boosting of tourism and new investments coming to Mindanao,” FFW president Sonny Matula said.

Congress thrice extended the declaration which is  set to expire on Dec. 31. —Jovic Yee
