Lawmakers tackle proposed resolution on Marawi Recovery, Reconstruction, and Rehabilitation

COTABATO CITY - The Special Committee on Marawi Recovery, Reconstruction, and Rehabilitation convened recently to address two proposed resolutions concerning the ongoing efforts in the Islamic City.

The meeting addressed proposed Resolution No. 62, which aimed to assess the status of the Marawi Rehabilitation Program Project Office (MRP-PMO), as well as proposed Resolution No. 441, which urged government agencies to allocate funds for the extension of the lease agreement for temporary shelters housing internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Marawi for an additional two years.

The committee emphasized the importance of ensuring that the services promised to IDPs are effectively delivered through existing programs.

Updates on the BARMM-MRP Projects were also shared, with resource speakers from implementing offices and agencies such as the Ministry of Social Services and Development, the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform, and the Bangsamoro Human Rights Commission.

Through consultations, the committee's vice chair, Atty. Anna Tarhata Basman, recognized the significance of public participation and dialogue on governance.

She reaffirmed the committee's commitment to creating spaces for engagement with the public to ensure transparency and inclusivity in the decision-making process. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)
