Marawi marked this week the 5th year since then-president Rodrigo Duterte declared the so-called liberation of the predominantly Muslim city from the clutches of the ISIS-inspired Maute Group.
In 2017, five months of fighting between the government and Maute forces brought the predominantly Muslim city to its knees. Many died and were left homeless as a result of the five months of fighting.
Rappler Mindanao bureau coordinator Herbie Gomez and regional head Inday Espina-Varona talk about the government’s hits and misses in the ongoing efforts to rehabilitate Marawi City with Moro Consensus Group chairman Drieza Lininding.
