TF Bangon Marawi to turn over 500 temporary shelters on Dec. 27

MANILA — Task Force (TF) Bangon Marawi will turn over 500 temporary shelters on Dec. 27, the Office of Civil Defense said Friday.

In a statement, the office said the TF “will soon turn over 500 transitional shelters to identified recipient families of Brgy. Sagonsongan, Marawi City.”

The office noted the ceremony will be presided by President Rodrigo Duterte.

The local government of Marawi City will also present the beneficiary list to the task force this Friday.

Around 18,000 families have returned to their respective communities in Marawi City.

TF Bangon Marawi chairman Eduardo del Rosario earlier said the housing units include concrete roads, electricity, and water facilities.

The government also plans to complete 1,170 housing units by the first quarter of 2018, out of the total 6,300 temporary houses. (Juzel Danganan/PNA)
