Legal basis, Mandates, and Functions |
In 1994, the City Government of Davao adopted
the Davao City Investment Incentives Code under
City Ordinance no. 2017. This was followed by
the adoption of the “Rules and Regulations
Implementing the Davao City Investment
Incentives Code of 1994 under City Ordinance No.
2269.
These ordinances were another pioneering effort
of Davao City. These were the first known
ordinances from a local government in the
country that grants a set of incentives to
investors (which are over and above what the
incentives granted under the Philippine Omnibus
Investment Code).
From 1994 up to December 1997, the DCIPC was
being run by the PhilExport-XI through a
contract with the City Government of Davao.
In 1999, the Code was duly amended to effect the
resumption of DCIPC operation as a unit under
the City Planning and Development Office of the
City Government of Davao. (see history of DCIPC
