MARAWI CITY — The Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) has been given the go signal to start the debris clearing inside the “most affected area” of this war-devastated city. The structure was the stronghold of the Islamic State-inspired Maute group when it attacked Marawi City in May 2017. SafeAccording to Del Rosario, they hoped to clear Marawi of debris before the end of the year and allow residents to reenter the city based on their assigned sectors. Del Rosario said the debris clearing, demolition of all unsafe structures, repair and reconstruction are expected to be completed by November. “We are appealing to the residents to be patient, understanding and supportive to hasten the repair of Marawi.
