The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) assured on Friday that the Marawi rehabilitation is already halfway done and remains on track to meet its completion deadline in December 2021.
In a news statement, DHSUD Secretary and Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) Chairman Eduardo del Rosario said the rehabilitation is already 45 percent to 50 percent complete.
Del Rosario said some projects are 60 percent and 70 percent done while others are lagging at around 35 percent. The completion rate in sum would lead to an average completion rate of 45 to 50 percent, he said.
“This is our commitment and the mandate of Task Force Bangon Marawi per instructions by our President, so we have to work double time,” del Rosario said. “Let’s have a very focused 2021 and let us meet our said target date.”
Del Rosario said the road network being undertaken by the National Housing Authority (NHA) is currently the most important project in Marawi to date.
He said once this road network is completed, the government could already determine the alignments and identify open spaces. The government aims to complete the road network by September or October.
“We are on target, actually we are over the targets by 3 percent so matatapos natin talaga itong road network on time,” the TFBM chief stressed. “From then on, all the other projects will be completed in different months, and all ongoing projects will be completed by December of 2021.”
