Tabang Marawi Disaster Response
By Charien Ruaya Sumagang

May 23 of this year when the tragic Marawi

domination by the Maute group happened. Both
our Muslim and Christian brothers and sisters
settling, studying, and working in Marawi sought
refuge in the nearby places in order to save
themselves from death and harassments. In their
volition of saving themselves, they fled from the
place bringing only themselves thinking they can
return to their respective places in no time.
Due to the insufficient resources of food,
sleeping materials, and hygiene kits, the Diocese
of Iligan tapped the Archdiocese of Cagayan de
Bp. Edwin de la Pea, DD with SAC-Cagayan de Oro
Oro to conduct relief operations for Baloi and
Saguiaran these are evacuation centers that are
part of Lanao del Norte. Through our supportive
and active partners, we called on for reinforcement
through monetary contributions for the planning,
purchasing, delivery, and distribution of goods
to the assigned areas. Every household received
a pail containing towels, sleeping mat, dipper,
rice, coffee, milo, sugar, oil, dried fish, shampoo,
sanitary napkins, bath soap, razors, nail clippers,
men and women underwear, toothbrush, and
toothpaste, among others.
In Baloi and Saguiaran, we prepared 513
sets of goods for 5 evacuation centers but due to
the time constraint and security, we were only
Abp. Ledesma during the distribution of relief goods
