KAMBALINGAN-- IDP NO MORE!

In order to fulfill its objective to facilitate the smooth and safe return of Marawi IDPs who are

come from selected barangays, the City Government has come up with an IDP return plan, named

Kambalingan, or homecoming. Below are just some of the things that you may need to know about

this homecoming effort.

There are 3 phases in the return plan and they consist of the following:

*the return, and

*sustaining efforts to ensure the swift and smooth rebuilding of communities

for the residents return. If you are qualified, then you and your family living with you prior to
the siege may return home. For this, you should get in touch with your barangay chairperson.

How Do We Get There?

On the scheduled date for the homecoming, the IDPs from the evacuation centers will be
led and guided by their respective Barangay Chairpersons. The terminal near the National Steel
Corporation premises in Iligan City will serve as the assembly area. The IDPs will be transported
to their home barangays for free. However, IDPs who are home based will need to shoulder their
transportation expenses.

Why Cant Everyone Go Home Yet?

We, the Marawi City Government are aware of the everyones wish to be allowed to come
home. However, the resources of the City Government are not enough to allow everyone to
come home yet. It cannot yet be able to manage the return of everyone. Rest assured though,
that were working hard to do what we can to make it possible for the other IDPs to return to
their homes in the near future.

Brigada Marawi, to clean up the areas in preparation for the return. BPAT personnel were
