The nightmare that Marawi City residents have gone through in the hands of armed groups marked its fourth anniversary on May 23.
The predominantly Muslim city has faced challenges in rehabilitating the battle area, as well as in fighting the recruitment of armed groups among its residents.
What now?
A few days before the anniversary, a housing provider announced that close to 500 houses for families displaced by the conflict have been built.
Holcim Philippines said that a total of 491 out of 1,057 housing units have already been built by the end of April 2021. The project was spearheaded by the United Nations Human Settlement Program (UN-Habitat), together with Holcim and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
