The siege in Marawi City has undoubtedly left a mark on its citizens and the people of Mindanao as a whole. Families were displaced, people were left scrambling, and the city has become a battleground between the military and members of the Maute group. The conflict prompted President Rodrigo Duterte to declare Martial Law in the entire island of Mindanao.<\/p>\n

There are, however, people asking about more than just Martial Law and its implications. People started asking for donations and volunteers to help the citizens of Marawi<\/strong>, led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Office of the Vice President (OVP).<\/p>\n

The DSWD, though not directly asking for donations, is willing to accept donations in cash and in kind. They even released a set of images telling people what they should consider donating:<\/p>\n
