Nunungan, Lanao del Norte: With the massive influx of refugees to different municipalities in Lanao del Norte, Gov. Imelda Dimaporo expressed surprise that this municipality where majority of the residents are Muslims, has no record of evacuees from Marawi City. Based on records from the Provincial Social Welfare Office (PSWDO) there is no single family displaced by the Marawi conflict that have enlisted so far in this town. This prompted Mamay to conduct a series of relief goods distribution to towns like Sapad and Sultan Naga Dimaporo where conflict-affected Marawi residents are taking temporary shelter. “ We are willing to help refugees but because not a single family opted to take temporary shelter in our area, we reached out to help them by going where they are right now,” Mamay said.
