It�s a welcome development ... the establishment of the destroyed mosques inside the most affected area (MAA) or ground zero, because these are very important to us,� Majul Gandamra, mayor of Marawi City, which is part of the Lanao Del Sur province in the southern Philippines, told Arab News. He added that reconstruction of the mosques, at a cost of 105 million Philippine pesos ($2.1 million), was �really necessary� and should not be �left behind� as the government rebuilds the war-torn southern city.
