The rehabilitation of the city can proceed at a dizzying pace hopefully,&#8221; Dela Pe\u00f1a said in a statement issued Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Catholic prelate said that he felt bad for the residents who were left homeless by the war.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sad also because there is practically no house to go home to for the Marawi residents, including us at St. Mary&#8217;s Cathedral. It&#8217;s going to be traumatic for some to see their former homes uninhabitable,&#8221; the Marawi bishop said.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, government forces terminated all combat operations in Marawi City after confirming the death of the last members of the Maute Group that had laid siege to the city.<\/p>\n<p>This marked the end of the five-month conflict that began May 23.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; Marawi Bishop Edwin dela Pe\u00f1a said he is both happy and sad over the termination of combat operations in &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":112167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[27995,22530,29317],"class_list":["post-126139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-edwin-dela-pena","tag-marawi-siege","tag-mixed-emotions","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
