Marawi
Not all heroes need to fight
When war raged mid-May 2017 in Marawi City, many refugees escaped to the safest place they knew: Iligan City. Maranaos looked for shelter in Iligan, leaving their belongings and money behind. The evacuees’ anguish melted my heart, because they knew that this war would last for months. But the heroic deed I witnessed that time was the unity of student-volunteers from Iligan to accommodate refugees from Mindanao State University –Main Campus. These refugees were mainly MSU students who were staying as transients in Marawi years before the war started.
