Task Force Bangon Marawi (transl.

The agency was abolished by Duterte's successor, President Bongbong Marcos on December 22, 2023.
History
The Battle of Marawi between government forces and combined forces of the ISIL-linked Maute and Abu Sayyaf groups left the city in ruins.
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]
Administrative Order No. 9 dated October 27, 2017, designated the Chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council as the chairperson of the task force, replacing the Secretary of National Defense who became the vice-chairman along with the Secretary of Public Works and Highways.
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]
