Kilala, Marawi City (Contributed photo) MANILA - The Senate has approved the reconstitution of a special committee that will manage the continuous rehabilitation of and compensation for Marawi that was destroyed by a five-month siege in 2017 when Islamic militants occupied the city. First constituted in the 17th Congress, the committee is tasked to provide full support, assistance, and cooperation to Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM). Senator Ronald dela Rosa will again lead the special committee, which he handled in the previous Congress. "Despite the time that has lapsed, the wounds are still fresh, and the memories of such destruction and chaos still haunt us today. Since then, pooled efforts from both the public and the private sector have been put together to rebuild the City of Marawi," Senate Majority Leader Senator Joel Villanueva said in his sponsorship speech on Monday. He also cited the accomplishments in the rehabilitation of Marawi City, referring to the July report of the Task Force Bangon Marawi, led by former Housing secretary Eduardo del Rosario, and the enactment of Republic Act No. 11696 or the Marawi Siege Victims Compensation Act of 2022. Senator Robinhood Padilla thanked Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri for the assurance that he will bring it up at the first meeting of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC). Padilla previously filed Senate Resolution No. 8 asking the Office of the Executive Secretary to conduct the vetting process for nominees who will compose the compensation board as provided by the law. "I will give my assurance bilang inyong Senate President na talagang ifa-follow up natin ito sa Executive. At sa unang LEDAC meeting po babanggitin ko po 'yan as part of our priority request sa Executive branch (I give my assurance as your Senate President to follow this up with the Executive Branch. At the first LEDAC meeting, I will mention this as part of our priority request to the executive branch)," Zubiri said in reply to Padilla. The Marawi rehabilitation efforts went full blast in July 2020, amid the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, following the completion of the first phase of rehabilitation from November 2017 to October 2018. The first phase included emergency assistance such as the provision of water, food, clothing, and other basic necessities to displaced families in different evacuation centers, as well as the construction of temporary shelters for displaced families in the most affected area. The second phase includes debris management efforts and detonation of unexploded bombs within ground zero. Del Rosario said the rehabilitation in Marawi City is about 72 percent complete as of June.

Marawi rehab 'template for good governance': del Rosario

Drone shot of Marawi City's most affected area during the 2017 siege. (File photo) MANILA - Outgoing Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) chairperson Eduardo del Rosario on Wednesday said he will step down from his post with a sense of fulfillment over the rehabilitation process of the war-torn city which he described as a "template for good governance.". Del Rosario, also Secretary of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), described his role as "challenging but fulfilling." "Spearheading Marawi's rehabilitation after the 2017 siege was truly challenging. However, it brought me a sense of fulfillment having accomplished such a Herculean task," he said in a statement. Del Rosario cited that the massive rehabilitation of Marawi City may have not succeeded without the support of TFBM's 56-implementing agencies and other partners. "Thank you for all your support, patience, and cooperation. The TFBM would not have done it without the support of the local government, the implementing agencies, partner organizations, and other stakeholders, most especially our Maranaw brothers and sisters," he said. Del Rosario is confident that the next generation of Maranaws (natives of Marawi City) will be reaping the benefits of TFBM's rehabilitation efforts. "The first two years may have been the most challenging period. I had to learn how to muster all the patience I ever could and remain determined because, at the end of the day, the rehabilitation of Marawi City is not about me - it's about you and the next generation of Maranaws. Doon ko itinuon ang direksyon ng proyektong ito, maging ngayon na matatapos na ang aking termino bilang (That is where I focused the direction of the project, even until now as I am at the end of my term as) TFBM chairman," he said. Aside from physical infrastructure projects and livelihood opportunities for people, TFBM earlier vowed that Marawi City residents can now have a more peaceful environment following the neutralization of the remnants of Daesh-inspired terrorists in Lanao del Sur. Del Rosario has repeatedly said the TFBM's rehabilitation initiatives will serve as a "template for good governance and pursuit to lasting peace" "Marawi City is close to finally getting back, if not surpassing, its former glory as the massive government-led rehabilitation now heads into the home stretch," he said, citing the effective cooperation among implementing agencies, Marawi local government unit, as well as the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and civil society partners throughout the rebuilding processes. Del Rosario visited Marawi City last week to reassess the latest developments and ensure the TFBM's finishing touches ahead of the transition of efforts to the Marcos administration. (PNA) }
