TASK FORCE BANGON MARAWI

During what seemed like a normal afternoon in Marawi City

on May 23, 2017, a firefight erupted between the military
and an undetermined number of men, later identifying
themselves as the Maute group.

The crossfire resulted in thousands of Maranaos fleeing to

relatives, friends or evacuation centers in nearby areas. The
chaos and destruction caused by these terrorists prompted
President Duterte to declare Martial Law in Mindanao, and
to create a body that would help Marawi rise again when the
war is over.

Thus, the Duterte administration issued Administrative

Order No. 3, and Task Force Bangon Marawi was born. It is
composed of various government agencies working together
towards the recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation of
the conflict-stricken city.

The inter-agency Task Force for the Recovery, Reconstruc on, and Rehabilita on
