After the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao in May 23, 2017, the damage brought by the hostilities in the city of Marawi have driven many of the residents out of their homes as well as the economic implication of an ongoing rebellion in the area.
After weeks of hostilities, many from the rebel camp have been annihilated and those who survived have fled to neighboring areas are on the run from the long arm of the law. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has signed Administrative Order 03 creating an inter-agency task force Task Force Bangon Marawi, which will begin the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the city of Marawi, well in time for the return of their citizens to a peaceful and prosperous life.
Task Force Bangon Marawi is composed of a chairman, a job given to the Secretary of National Defense and the Vice-Chairperson is the DPWH secretary. Other members of the task force are:
