AUTONOMOUS Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm) Governor Mujiv Hataman announced that an 11-hectare resettlement area will be constructed in the village of Sagonsongan, Marawi City.
Hataman said the construction of the resettlement site will be completed in a month’s time. It can accommodate at least 1,200 families.
He said the main purpose of building transition shelters is to decongest the evacuation centers and to provide the internally displaced persons with more conducive areas.
The resettlement site will have a madrasah, kitchen area, wash room, market, mosque, water supply, toilets, and a multi-purpose hall.
The construction of the temporary shelters is part of the Task Force Bangon Marawi’s recovery, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of Marawi City.
President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the creation of an inter-agency task force to develop and implement a comprehensive rehabilitation and recovery program for Marawi City based on a post-conflict assessment.
Hataman, along with Cabinet Secretay Leoncio Evasco Jr., Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Chairperson Eduardo del Rosario, on Thursday visited the 11-hectare transitional shelters that will serve as temporary resettlement of residents displaced by conflict in Marawi City.
