President Rodrigo Duterte will turn over 500 permanent housing units for Marawi City residents today in Barangay Sagonsongan, Marawi City. Eduardo del Rosario, chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, said of the 500 housing units, 250 will be occupied by December 31. He gave assurances that the construction of the initial 1,100 permanent shelters will be finished by February 2018. “After January 7, other permanent shelters will be ready for occupancy every two weeks,” del Rosario said. So we will remove all buildings for land development, widening previous two-lane roads by making it four or six lanes,” del Rosario said.
