Things looking up for Marawi City 5 years after siege

NEW HOUSES. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme will end its Rebuilding Marawi Project in Marawi City on May 30, 2022 with 1,000 permanent houses for families displaced during the five-month siege in 2017. The agency known as UN-Habitat received funding from the Japanese government. (PNA photo by Divina M. Suson) MARAWI CITY - For a 38-year-old mother of nine, life five years after the siege here is way better than before they were displaced because of the five-month battle between the government and ISIS-linked extremists. Anisah Bariga, her husband, and their children aged between 17 to 5 months old occupy one of the 109 permanent housing units in Hadiya Village in Barangay Dulay West. They transferred here in February last year, a shelter she calls "our own", vacating the house of a kind relative some four kilometers away from Dulay West. When they fled during the siege, they first stayed for six months in a school that served as evacuation center in Saguiaran, Lanao del Sur. "It was very difficult living in an evacuation center with six little children so right after the (declaration) of Marawi liberation, we asked our relative if we can stay in their house. They let us stay there while waiting for the opportunity to be given permanent housing," Bariga said. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) constructed 1,000 permanent shelters for displaced families who could no longer go back to their areas in the most affected area (MAA). The agency spent some USD10 million donated by the Japan government for the Rebuilding Marawi Project. Bariga said she has accepted the fact that they could no longer go back to their previous area inside the MAA. She understands that the MAA has been declared a no-build and danger zone because it is within the reclamation area and the easement of Lake Lanao along the river banks. Comfortable life At Hadiya Village, Barriga's family is comfortably living in a house with a 42 square meter floor area, sitting on a 100 square meter lot. The couple makes a living out of selling dodol, a Maranaw delicacy made of sticky rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar. A family friend allowed them to construct a small bamboo shade along the road in Barangay Lilod Saduc to sell their wares and where commuters regularly pass by. "Our house before [the siege] was small," Bariga said. "And now we have a better income because we were able to find a good spot, unlike before that we were inside the Padian market." Worries, uncertainties While Bariga's family is content with their life now, Taib Gauraki, who was also given a permanent shelter in the same area, is worried about the ownership of the land. He learned that the government paid only 25 percent for the total land area of 2.8 hectares. "They said this is a permanent shelter, but how long should we wait before these lots will be paid for (by the sponsoring agencies) and guarantee we will not be evicted?" Gauraki said. Engineer Felmar Gilbang, project manager of the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), said relocated residents are assured they will not be evicted. The heirs of the original land owner, who is already dead, issued a conditional deed of sale to the SHFC for the title transfer after receiving the 20 percent of the price of the property. "May certificate of award naman na ibinigay sa mga (A certificate of award was given to the) homeowners," Gilbang said in an interview. Marawi Mayor Majul Gandamra said that 1,000 of more than 3,000 families who lived in the different transitory shelters have transferred to permanent units in five areas -- Hadiya Village in Barangay Dulay West, Norsalam Village in Barangay Patani, Pamayandeg Ranaw Residence in Barangays Kilala and Mipantao-Gadongan; and Darussalam Village in Barangay Dulay Proper. The SHFC and the National Housing Authority purchased the land in the five areas. Some of the remaining families are waiting for compensation under the Marawi Compensation Law so they can rebuild their houses. "Many of them already have approved building permits and there are many others still waiting," Gandamra said. Praying for compensation Abduljalil Madid, homeowners' association president of Hadiya Village, said they are banking on the promises of the compensation law. "Hopefully, the next administration will continue to support us like what President Rodrigo Duterte did for us. I hope they will give solution to the other problems that were not yet addressed," he said, referring to livelihood programs and amenities inside the housing site such as a public market. On May 30, the UN-Habitat will wrap up its Marawi Resettlement Site projects. Aside from core shelter project, the UN-Habitat also engaged in the livelihood skills training, community development, peace structures, mapping, and community infrastructures. As of this month, 923 houses have completed construction and 77 will be finished by June. Of the 923, a total of 538 were already turned over. "The planning of the construction of these houses were participated in by the beneficiaries so that the house designs are culturally-sensitive," Christopher Rollo, country program manager of UN-Habitat Philippines, said in an interview. "The Rebuilding Marawi Project demonstrates that adequate housing is at the center of sustainable development because having an adequate home empowers a family to satisfy its basic needs while providing the space to dream, engage in gainful livelihood, commune with neighbors, and become communities of peace," Rollo added.

UN-Habitat builds 1K permanent houses for Marawi siege victims

NEW HOUSES. A family displaced by the 2017 Marawi siege in their new community at Marawi Resettlement Site Phase 1: Hadiya Village, Barangay Dulay West. A total of 109 permanent houses constructed by the UN Habitat were inaugurated in the area last February 2021. (Photo courtesy of UN-Habitat) MANILA - A total of 1,000 permanent houses were awarded to Marawi residents as the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) caps its housing project in the city on Thursday. The Rebuilding Marawi Project, funded by the Japanese government, started four years ago to support internally displaced families affected by the 2017 siege with the last 462 houses awarded during a handover event Thursday (May 19). The houses were built on land procured and developed by Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) and National Housing Authority (NHA) through a USD10 million funding given by Japan. Prior to the siege, the 1,000 families lived within the three to six meters easement along the Agus River and Lake Lanao -- areas officially categorized by the government as "no dwell zone" and others that were affected by the development projects within the post-war ground zero/most affected area. With their houses destroyed by the gun battle between the government forces and pro-ISIS militants, life for the 1,000 families in the past four years since the war ended was spent in tents, transitory shelters, and temporary homes within Marawi or nearby provinces, the UN Philippines said. Others went as far as Manila to find sources of income as the war destroyed not only their homes but devastated their businesses as well. "We and our partners are truly honored to be part of this rebuilding process. The Rebuilding Marawi Project demonstrates that adequate housing is at the center of sustainable development because having an adequate home empowers a family to satisfy its basic needs while providing the space to dream, engage in gainful livelihood, commune with neighbors, and become communities of peace," said UN-Habitat Country Programme Manager Christopher Rollo, who delivered the message of UN-Habitat Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific Atsushi Koresawa. Oling Manalao, who spoke on behalf of the families, extended their gratitude to the UN-Habitat, saying the initiative not only helped construct their homes but also regain their confidence through the training, meetings, and coaching of the project included. "Thank you for the livelihood projects that did not just benefit the home partners but also helped so many people directly and indirectly, through the 82 different kinds of livelihood projects that our Cooperatives managed. Our deepest gratitude goes to the People of Japan who generously provided us the means to start anew, for making it possible for us to rebuild with dignity," Manalao said. Families previously awarded the permanent houses are now living in their new communities, such as the Marawi Resettlement Site (MRS) Phase 1 in Barangay Dulay West and MRS Phase II in Darussalam Village, Barangay Dulay Proper. Some 500 permanent houses were also turned over last July 22, 2021 in Barangay Mipantao-Gadongan and another 250 in Barangay Kilala from October 2021 to March 3, 2022. The 438 of the 462 families awarded during the handover event on Thursday will soon be transferring to their houses in MRS Phase III in Norsalam Village, Brgy. Patani -- all three lands procured and developed by the Social Housing Finance Corporation. Twenty-four houses of the 462 awarded houses, meanwhile, are located at the local government unit of Marawi property in Barangay Patani. (PNA) }

Grand Mosque in Marawi City (Photo courtesy of Radyo Pilipinas) MANILA - The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) will launch on Sundaythe newly constructed Grand Mosque in Marawi, four years after the government started its rehabilitation of the city razed to the ground when government forces took out the Maute-led terrorist groups. DHSUD Secretary Eduardo Del Rosario, the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) chief, said aside from the mosque, a series of projects will also be unveiled this weekend. "This week's events indicate Marawi's continuous return to progress and marks a new chapter of the Islamic city's path to peace and development," he said in a statement on Friday. "We are all set to show the President what we have achieved so far with regards to the rehabilitation of public infrastructures," del Rosario said, confirming that President Rodrigo Duterte will grace the ceremony that will also showcase the progress of the rehabilitation of public infrastructures. The Raya Madaya Barangay Complex, the sixth village facility to be rolled out inside the Most Affected Area (MAA) this year, will also be inaugurated. The reconstruction of Disomangcop Mosque, Masjid Darussalam, Marinaut Masjid, and White Mosque in the MAA was finished earlier. Other events are the groundbreaking ceremony of a Department of Information and Communications Technology building in Barangay Datu Naga; turnover of permanent shelters in Barangay Gadongan; rollout of a school building; ceremonial handover of school furniture; and inspection of permanent shelters in Barangay Patani. Soldiers and civilians who were slain in the five-month siege will also be remembered in a wreath-laying ceremony at Kampo Ranao, headquarters of the Philippine Army's 103rd Infantry Brigade. The Marawi siege broke out around 2 p.m. on May 23, 2017 when military and police forces launched an operation to capture Isnilon Hapilon, thehead of the Islamic State forces in the Philippines. Hapilon and Omar Maute, founder of the Dawlah Islamiyah group, were killed about a week before the war was declared over on October 23. About 168 soldiers, policemen, and civilians died during the 153-day siege that also displaced thousands. (PNA) }
