'We pray that (the Marawi Compensation Board) would be able to fast track their work so that the people of Marawi can recover,' says former Comelec chairman Saidamen Pangarungan as he leads thousands of Maranaos in prayer during an Eid'l Fitr gathering.
MARAWI, Philippines – Some 20,000 Maranaos gathered at the Islamic Center in Pangarungan village in Marawi to celebrate, worship, and pray for normalization six years after many of them were displaced during the months of fighting in 2017.
In January, Malacañang named lawyer Maisara Dandanum-Latiph as head of the Marawi Compensation Board , a body tasked by law to facilitate the tax-free payment of reparations for thousands of Maranao families adversely affected by the five-month fighting. Thousands prayed that many of those displaced in 2017 would be allowed to return to the most affected areas of Marawi and rebuild.
