CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela — The local chief executive of this province has expressed intent to support the national government’s efforts to rebuild war-torn Marawi City.

Jessie James Geronimo, Provincial Information Officer, said Gov. Faustino G. Dy III, who also sits as the Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC) chair, will deploy a humanitarian mission in Marawi City to help in the restoration and rehabilitation of destroyed buildings in the city.
