Need for regular monitoring and revalidation of IDPs inside ECs by the Camp Managers and committee members as there are individuals taking advantage of the assistance intended for IDPs only. (e.g., the case at Buru-un Gym). Responses: Made a follow up through the in-charge of the hub in Linamon who released the tents for Campong Madrasa EC. Partial installation of tents as temporary shelters was done in Madrasah Campong, Pantar. Delay on the completion of installation was due to incomplete delivery of tent poles. Philippines MARAWI SIEGE Situation Report #7 | 4 Meeting with Camp Managers was conducted by the monitoring team to remind them of their responsibilities and the need to take precautionary measures to avoid recurrence of same incident. Distribution of Ramadan packs was done in four (4) barangays in Iligan City for home-based IDPs. Ongoing distribution is scheduled until 30 June 2017. Conducted training for Camp Coordination and Camp Management to oversee the needs of the IDPs and insure proper camp management. Ongoing validation of the home-based IDPs and issuance of the DAFAC. Continuous distribution of relief goods for the home-based IDPs. Coordinated with UNHCR for the encoding / masterlisting of the IDPs. Gaps & Constraints: Despite congestion problem in all camps in Iligan City, there are still individuals claiming themselves as IDPs and insisting for accommodation inside ECs. DSWD workers of Region X, XII, and ARMM need teambuilding. Feedback / Comments: IOM updated on the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) of their proposed alternative evacuation space (AES). Several feedback were given: to consider having consultation with other stakeholders; and most importantly, with the IDPs themselves – both home-based and inside ECs. The decision for approval of this proposal should be discussed in and by the CCCM Cluster. Need also for a timeline as to until when will the displacement be. Distribution of Ramadan packs in Tibanga EC – exclusively for Iglesia ni Kristo IDPs – was discontinued due to religion barrier. Agreement was to distribute simultaneously with home- based IDPs in Tibanga to avoid commotion. Distribution in Balo-i ECs: there was also commotion during the distribution for home-based IDPs at the municipal hall because upon an announcement they heard, the inside ECs IDPs immediately went to the municipal hall, hoping to receive the items being distributed. Suggestion was to have the same process of distribution in Tibanga: make distribution simultaneous for inside and outside EC IDPs.
