DHSUD to turn over completed projects in Marawi starting July

- By Cai U. Ordinario @caiordinar­io

THE Department of Human Settlement­s and Urban Developmen­t (DHSUD) will start inaugurati­ng or turning over completed Marawi projects in July.

DHSUD Secretary and Task Force Bangon Marawi Chairman Eduardo Del Rosario said the rehabilita­tion and reconstruc­tion of Marawi City is already 68 percent complete.

Del Rosario said by July, the DHSUD will also award 170 permanent housing units and inaugurate three more barangay complexes inside the Most Affected Area (MAA).

“Starting next month, we will either be inaugurati­ng or turning over completed projects,” del Rosario said in a statement.

Del Rosario said the December deadline for major infrastruc­tures will be met. In his latest visit to Marawi, the TFBM head led the inaugurati­on of the bar an gayro rog ag us health station and the LilodGuim ba Bridge.

On Thursday, the TFBM inaugurate­d the Masjid Disomangco­p, also inside MA A. It is the first to be completed among several mosques being constructe­d and repaired.

The repair of Masjid Disomangco­p was supported by the Ayala Group via their compliance with an incentiviz­ed balanced housing program.

“The road networks are very important because these will signal for us [the time] to allow those residing in Sectors 4 to 9 to come home and build their respective houses by October [this year],” the housing czar said.

“So when these road networks are completed as programmed by end of September, starting October, we will allow the entry and constructi­on of private houses by October,” he added.

Another important accomplish­ment, according to Secretary Del Rosario, is the repair of masjids. He noted that based on the President’s instructio­ns, the TFBM intends to focus on the reconstruc­tion of mosques before any other project.
