She called for continued assistance to Marawi, even as she bared that 49 new schools have been erected in the area.
“They are in need of kitchens and also supplies, and tables and chairs and seats with side tables,” she said.
“Ang sisigla na ng mga tao (the people are full of energy) ,” she said of the vibrant atmosphere, adding that “it does not mean tapos na ang lahat (everything is done).”
“Please continue working and helping and remembering Marawi,” she asked people. /ra
