Marawi task force head slams rehab critics

Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) Chairman Secretary Eduardo del Rosario again hit detractors of Marawi City’s rehabilitation project, who claim there is no significant development in rebuilding the war-battered city over the last three years.

In his speech during the “kandori” or thanksgiving rites organized by the Marawi local government unit, del Rosario said critics will always see the negative.

“Ang kanilang (detractors) mga sinasabi since day one ay pare-parehas pa rin. Kasi sa kanilang pananaw, walang nangyayari sa rehabilitation. Ay napaka-imposible po yata na i-accept ‘yan (What the detractors have been saying since day 1 has not changed. For them, there is no progress with the rehabilitation),” he said.

He said that even if he were to bring the critics to see reconstruction efforts in the most affected area, they will never be satisfied.

Del Rosario said the rehabilitation efforts were very systematic and based on a master plan to avoid accidents and conflicts.

He thanked the Marawi Sultanate League headed by Chairman Nasser Sampaco, local leaders as well as civil organizations for backing the task force.

“Well-meaning traditional, institutional and civil society leaders are the best barometer of real progress and accomplishments of TFBM on the ground and not the vested interest groups who oppose everything that government does,” the official said.

The local leaders gave del Rosario a kandori, a thanksgiving and congratulatory Maranaw tradition after his confirmation as the first head of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development by the Commission on Appointments.

Last October, the Marawi Reconstruction Conflict Watch and the Moro Consensus Group decried the slow reconstruction of Marawi.

They said there is no Marawi liberation to speak of as thousands of residents remain in temporary shelters and are yet to be compensated for their properties damaged or destroyed during the bitter battle between state forces and Islamic State-inspired Maute.

Del Rosario earlier said the rehabilitation of Marawi was on track and would be completed by December 2021, before the term of President Rodrigo Duterte ends.

The task force has completed the construction of the city’s maritime outpost of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and rebuilt the Banggolo and Mapandi bridges, according to del Rosario.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

The outlook was faster than the 3.5-percent consumer price growth in December 2020 and the 2.9 percent a year earlier. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will release official January inflation data on February 5. “Higher prices of fuel and meat, as well as increased Meralco (Manila Electric Co.) power rates and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco, contributed to upward price pressures during the month,” Diokno said. Local oil companies hiked fuel prices three times this month. Price incr...

Signs Of Cervical Cancer All Woman Should Know

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs. This may make it difficult for blood flow in the veins and may prevent blood from reaching the pelvis and legs, thus pain and swelling in the legs. Abnormal discharge When the disease starts to develop in the cervix, the uterine divider cells begin to loosen hence a watery discharge. Pain or bleeding Cervical tumor may develop on the cervix’s dividers which can dry out and eventually burst, hence distress and rectal or bladder bleeding. ...
