HOMEOWNERS representing some 700 displaced families from two barangays in Marawi City’s most affected area were allowed to visit their homes earlier this week to assess themselves whether these can still be repaired or be included in the demolition that authorities will undertake as part of the rehabilitation program. “Soldiers provided support, manpower, and security assistance to displaced families who were allowed to enter affected areas and inspect their homes,” Brig. Gen. Romeo Brawner, Jr., 103rd Infantry Brigade commander, said in a statement released by the Western Mindanao Command. The Kambisita (visit/inspection) is in preparation for the eventual Kambalingan (return) of residents who have been displaced since May 2017, when local terror groups laid siege on the city, which led to five months of intense battle with government forces that left parts of the city in ruins.
