Marawi City

#terrorismtotourism Many of us are afraid to visit and explore Mindanao, misconceived as a terrorism hub of the country, a dangerous place, filled with countless MYTHconceptions. Don't be afraid of Mindanao. It’s now safe in MindaNOW. Inpired from what Emma Goldman famously said, "The most violent element in society is IGNORANCE".

Marawi City

The siege of Marawi City by Islamic State militants started on May 23, 2017, and ended five months later. The vicious fighting and wanton destruction centered on a 250-hectare area called Ground Zero, home to 4,000 families in Marawi. Today, Ground Zero remains as devastated as it was when the fighting ended. Ground Zero is still off-limits to its former residents, who temporarily live in evacuation centers or with relatives. It was a pitiful and dreadful sight, with all buildings thoroughly pockmarked with bullet holes. #unforgettableexperiences#holidayvacation
