LISTED conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) said over the weekend it will take an active role in rebuilding communities in Marawi City in Lanao del Sur by providing start-up business packages to families of soldiers killed in action in the clashes with the terrorist Maute group.

“Through the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) … the assistance to families will be in the form of a business start-up package to ensure that families will have a sustainable source of income for the long term,” the company said in a statement.
