EP 40: Land issues complicating Marawi reconstruction

If you are a resident of Marawi City or at least used to be to say that you are frustrated would probably be an understatement. 

Imagine — after four years, you still cannot return home what used to be your house still reduced to rubble.

Of course, we understand that rebuilding an entire city after a five-month siege by Maute terrorists in 2017 won’t be easy. 

As of May this year, the government says 60 percent of the planned rehabilitation has been completed.

But more recently, residents have calling attention to alleged land-grabbing — an issue that has been complicating reconstruction efforts in the city.
