The Office of MP Atty. Maisara C. Dandamun-Latiph conducted a Focused Group Discussion with the families of missing and dead during Marawi siege. This program is in line with the commemoration of 4th year Marawi siege anniversary. The office also provided a symbolic kambalingan gift package to the participants. The kambalingan gift contains pillow, blanket, broom, dustpan, basket, rice, coffee, coffeemate, salt, biscuit, shampoo, soap, surf powder and zonrox.
This gift symbolizes the resiliency of the IDPs and their unending hope and perseverance to return home.
The aim of the FGD is to give venue to the families of missing and dead in airing their sentiments. Also present is a representative from the Task Force Bangon Marawi, Shariah Counselor Johary B. Lumna.
The families of missing and dead had also visited the maqbara cemetery where marked graves of those who have fallen during the Marawi siege that has not yet identified and named are located.
What happened during Marawi siege will never be forgotten. As MP Maisara’s stated, “Ang Opisina po ni MP Maisara, at nang buong Rehiyon ng Bangsamoro ay patuloy na nagbibigay ng sulosyon at patuloy na magbibigay ng tulong upang atin pong makamtan ang matagal na nating ninanais, ang KAMBALINGAN, In shaa Allah! Naniniwala ako na ang tunay na kapayapaan at katahimikan na inyong inaasam ay makakamit lamang kung ang totoong rehabilitasyon ay ating makakamtan. Ang rehabilitasyong ito ay ang pagbangon ng mga tao mula sa bangungot ng nakaraan at ang katahimikan ng mga pamilya ng mga nawala at namayapa noong Marawi Siege. Ito’y rehabilitasyon na ang batayan ay buhay ng mga tao at hindi ng magagandang bahay, kalsada, gusali at ilan pang mga magarbong establisamento na ipapatayo sa Marawi.”
The beneficiaries were very grateful that the Office reached out to them.
We would like to thank the representative from Task Force Bangon Marawi, Shariah Counselor Mr. Johary Lumna, The Sultan of Marawi Abdul Hamidullah Atar, and to all of the CSOs, NGOs, agencies and offices that were participated in this 4th year Marawi Siege Anniversary and Commemoration.
In shaa Allah, we will continue our advocacy to extend more help to people who are most in need within or outside the region.
