Some say only magic will change the negative image of Marawi City. But the city mayor believes otherwise.
There is good news in Marawi each day and this is the new normal in the city, Mayor Majul Gandamra told constituents on October 17, as he boasted the great strides of his administration for the first 100 days.
Programs to support the anti-illegal drugs campaign of the national government, ease traffic congestion and address solid waste problems which brought back the trust of the people to the authorities and the government system are among the top accomplishments cited by the mayor.

“The city has been silenced by fear of criminalities and injustices which contributed to the loss of opportunities for economic growth and the involuntary migration of residents. Thus, we have strengthened our collaboration with the authorities and took the lead in the implementation of the program to end the narcotics syndicate in our communities,” Gandamra said.
He further reported that the city government has reconstituted a new Ecological Solid Waste Management Council, launched new strategies coupled with enhanced ordinances to address the solid waste problem, and provided the necessary logistical support such as procurement of trucks and equipment to facilitate timely collection of wastes.
Gandamra said he also ordered the regulation of public utility vehicles and the 8,000 tricycle operators as well as the demolition of illegal structures and terminals along key roads which caused heavy traffic congestion. ‘We are now finalizing our Road and Traffic Management Plan and will soon commence the training of our traffic champions,” he added.
Other gains cited by the mayor include the revitalization of the disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) council, the conduct of disaster preparedness drills and basic life-saving trainings, and repair of the drainage system. (APB/PIA-10)
