On May 23, 2017 in Marawi Lanao Del Sur, the historical Marawi Siege happened. The armed forces of the government clashed with two ISIL-affiliated groups; Abu Sayyaf and Maute. The siege was triggered when the military tried to arrest the top ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group) leader, Isnilon Hapilon.
The attackers tried to fight back, declaring the city a new caliphate of ISIL or also known as ISIS. They burned a Catholic Church, city jail and two schools before occupying the main roads and major bridges of the city. They captured Church goers ang residents as their hostages.
It lasted for 5 months dating from 23rd of May to 23rd of October. It was ended after the acting leader of the group, Omar Maute was killed by a sniper outside their hide out. The casualties resulted to many deaths of civilian, fighters and soldiers and leaving the Marawi as a ghost town because of the total devastation of the whole city.
On the same year, actor Robin Padilla, as witnessed by the President Rodrigo Duterte, donated 5 Million Peso to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to help the children affected by the Marawi crisis.
This year, after 2 years of the siege, the actor once again donates for the people of Marawi. This time, he is set to donate his property in Barangay Kilala, Marawi City. The Bangsamoro government planned to build more than 1,000 housing units for the project and they are looking for land donors, one of them is no other than Robin Padilla.
On his Instagram account, he posted a long captioned photo with the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Minadanao (BARMM) Chief Minister, Ahod Al Haj Murad Ebrahim having a conversation about the donation. Other photos shows the two posed for camera handshaking. Padilla is scheduled to have the legal signing of the donation with the International Development Program (IDP).
"Ako'y nakapaglibot na sa Marawi at akin na rin nakita ang mga tahanan na naipagawa dito para sa mga naapaektuhan ng siege... Kaya naman ako ngayon ay nagpumilit na lumapit sa pamamagitan ni MP Jam Disimbihan-Ramos ay nakakuha ako ng appointment sa Chief Minister ng BARMM Al HAj Murad ipang mailahad sakanya ang aking mga mungkahi para sa Marawi..."
"Shaa Allah ay magbunga ito ng ginhawa at hudyat sa mga naapektuhan at sa mga nais pang tumulong sa pamamagitan ng gawa na walang negosyo"
