This as the Senate economic affairs committee starts today its first public hearing on a bill she has filed and hear testimonies on how best to set up a Bangon Marawi Council tasked to design special JVA’s, rebuild mosques in consultation with Muslim leaders, and expedite the issuance of land titles that would also cover reservation areas no longer used by the military.
The lady senator said easing government restrictions “shall apply only to the recovery, reconstruction, and rehabilitation projects for the most affected areas of Marawi City” and must be “consistent with all applicable laws.’’“It is important to start now with the restoration of the main mosque which is the central fixture of the community,’’ she explained.
The Bangon Marawi Council will replace the provisional nature and limited purpose of the government’s two-year-old Task Force Bangon Marawi.
