Task Force Bangon Marawi (transl. Task Force Rise Up Marawi) was a government inter-agency task force group organized by President Rodrigo Duterte in June 2017 to facilitate the rehabilitation, recovery and reconstruction efforts in Marawi after the battle between ISIL-linked militants and government forces in the city left the locality in ruins. The agency was abolished by Duterte's successor, President Bongbong Marcos on December 22, 2023.
History
One of the temporary houses at the Barangay Sagonsongan Transitional Shelter for affected Marawi residents set up by the task force.Sarimanok Sports Stadium, with the capacity of 3,700 people, was inaugurated in May 2022.
Amid the ongoing battle on June 28, 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte, through Administrative Order No. 3, created the Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) to facilitate the rehabilitation, recovery and reconstruction efforts in Marawi. As an inter-agency task force, the TFBM members were from several executive departments.[1][2]
In an attempt to "accelerate reconstruction and recovery efforts" in Marawi, on December 22, 2023, President Bongbong Marcos signed an administrative order abolishing the task force and directing regular line agencies to take over the rehabilitation of the city. Marcos further ordered the agency's unused funds to be surrendered to the Office of the President.[3]
