Mayor Herbert Bautista has ordered members of Quezon City’s Disaster and Needs Assessment team to visit Marawi City and assess how the city government can assist in rebuilding the war-torn city.

The DANA team will be composed of the QC Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Engineering Department, General Services Department, City Planning Department, Social Services and Development Department, and the City Health Department.

“We are responding to the instructions of Mayor Herbert Bautista based on the appeal of the nation government to help in reconstruction and redevelopment of Marawi after the siege. We are sending a disaster and needs assessment team to Marawi on the second week of January,” City Administrator Aldrin Cuna said.

Bautista has mentioned the city’s intention to provide aid during his State of the City Address.

“Ang contribution po natin talaga ay magtayo ng isang elementary school, high school at health center para maitayo at maitaguyod agad ang mga kababayan nating mga taga-Marawi. Sana po, we, local governments must continue to help each other. Ito ay tuloy-tuloy na ang hangad ko po personally ay maging tradisyon ng lungsod Quezon hanggang kaya natin,” Bautista said.

“Mayor Herbert has stressed na pag aralan din ang economic impact ng armed conflict doon may mga business and investors doon, how can they bounce back. Ito yung mga isa sa mga gustong makita ni mayor. Yung socioeconomic impact. Hindi lang sa residents pati na rin sa mga investors and business owners. Pag nakita natin yung mga effects, at least dito sa ating syudad masimulan na natin pag aralan at mabigyan ng diin na magkaroon ng business continuity plans yung ating mga stakeholders,” Karl Marasigan, head, QCDRRMO said.

The Association of Volunteer Fire Brigade of the Philippines will also be joining the QCDANA team. AVFBI will bring with them halal certified relief goods and clothing.
