On 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 25, 2025 the Marawi Compensation Board (MCB) held a turnover ceremony marking the official transition of leadership from former Chairperson Atty. Maisara C. Dandamun-Latiph to the newly appointed Chairperson, Atty. Moslemen T. Macarambon Sr., a former member of the MCB board. This ceremony symbolizes a new chapter in the MCB's efforts to provide compensation to the victims of the 2017 Marawi Siege.

Atty. Dandamun-Latiph, who was appointed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in January 2023, made significant contributions in strengthening the MCB's mandate to process compensation for qualified claimants who lost residential and commercial properties, as well as loved ones, due to the conflict. Under her leadership, the MCB successfully processed and distributed a total of P1,443,712,772.10 to 848 claimants. In her farewell message, she expressed confidence in the new leadership and emphasized the importance of continuing the compensation process.

Meanwhile, Atty. Moslemen T. Macarambon Sr., a seasoned public servant with experience as a regional trial court judge and former COMELEC commissioner, assumed his new role with a commitment to continue the MCB's goals. In his acceptance speech, he highlighted the challenges ahead but assured that he would work diligently to ensure the smooth continuation of the compensation process. With this leadership change, the MCB remains steadfast in its mission to aid the recovery of Marawi. / 𝙏𝙍𝙎

DAVAO CITY — A senior official of the Land Transportation Office in Region 11 (LTO 11) vehemently denied on Saturday, Jan. 25, a recent online report about a coding scheme that the office was considering to address traffic congestion in the Davao Region.

The LTO 11 referred to a published report by Rojean Grace Patumbon of Sunstar Davao last January 23.

The report states that the LTO is considering implementing a number coding scheme to address traffic congestion in the Davao Region.

“We clarify that the number coding scheme was introduced as an idea during the discussion and candidly acknowledged by the Assistant Secretary as one of several potential traffic management strategies. This response should not be misconstrued as a definitive plan or policy for Davao City or the region,” said Atty. Ernesto Raphael Robillo, LTO-Davao Regional Director.

Robillio said assistant secretary Attorney Vigor D. Mendoza II was indeed interviewed by reporters on January 23 but his statement was taken out of context.

“LTO does not have anything to do with the flow of traffic. We are a support group. Enforcement is just one of the ways to ease traffic. But traffic solutions, we don’t have a decision on that issue. It’s not with us but with the city government,” Robillo explained.

“Assistant Secretary Mendoza only emphasized that comprehensive and collaborative solutions—such as enhancing public transportation, stricter traffic enforcement, and infrastructure improvements—are key to addressing congestion,” Robillio said.

Earlier this month, the TomTom Traffic Index 2024 showed that Davao emerged as the 8th most congested city worldwide, where residents take almost 33 to travel 10 kilometers. Next to Davao is Manila, which in turn placed 14th worldwide.

The LTO stresses that traffic measures must be well-studied and coordinated with Davao City and its legislative body to serve the public’s needs.

“We urge the public to rely on official channels for accurate information and avoid spreading speculative or misleading interpretations,” Robillio said.
