Stakeholders approve military camp in Marawi

Stakeholders and lot owners in Barangay Kapantaran of Marawi City are in favor of establishing a military camp in the Old Capitol site of the besieged city, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has said.

Col. Romeo Brawner Jr., commander of the Philippine Army’s civil-military operations regiment, said the military had conducted dialogues with its stakeholders and owners of lots in Kapantaran and the general sentiment was they are in favor of a military camp “because of the emphasis on the security” of Marawi’s rehabilitation process.
