MANILA\u2014\u00a0<\/strong>As Marawi City recovers from the ashes of a terrorist siege that lasted for five months, residents are slowly returning to the life they knew before the conflict began.<\/p>\n

The Department of Energy (DOE) and Task Force Bangon Marawi (TFBM) held a ceremonial signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the donation of 200 electric-powered tricycles (e-trikes) built using Japanese technology.<\/p>\n

The e-trikes are air and noise pollution-free, easily driven, and can be charged using any 220-volt outlet, which can be found anywhere.<\/p>\n

The lightweight, one-piece shell of the e-trike is more rigid than conventional, externally attached side cabs of current gas-powered tricycles and are compliant with the Road Worthiness Guidelines of the Land Transportation Office (LTO).Each e-trike will seat five passengers and feature a passenger access on the side, which adds to the safety of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

DOE Secretary Alfonso Cusi led the signing of the MOU, turning over the e-trikes to TFBM Chairman, Secretary Eduardo del Rosario of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), and Marawi City Mayor Majul Gandamra.<\/p>\n

\"JUMPSTART.<\/a>

\u201cThis donation will surely help Marawi City rise again, and is a tangible start for the government to show Marawi residents that we are really committed and sincere,\u201d del Rosario said.<\/p>\n

Del Rosario said around 250 hectares of the city have been damaged by the conflict, but when the area is developed, it will become a modern commercial district.<\/p>\n

An eco-friendly central business district and tourist attraction is part of the development plan, which makes the e-trikes a perfect addition to the attraction, the government’s housing and urban development chief said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese e-trikes represent a means to support livelihood and jumpstart the increased economic activity in the area,\u201d Cusi said.<\/p>\n

Cusi also gave the assurance that the DOE and the stakeholders in the Mindanao region are expediting the establishment of charging and service stations to increase the durability of the e-trikes.<\/p>\n

After the ceremonial signing, the energy chief sat at the cockpit of the e-trike for a spin around the DOE compound with Del Rosario, Mayor Gandamra and other guests as his passengers. \u201cThese e-trikes will go a long way in alleviating the plight of internally displaced people (IDP) of Marawi City.<\/p>\n

One of the issues being addressed by the city government is the lack of livelihood for the IDPs and the lack of environment-friendly transportation,\u201d Gandamra said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gandamra added the donation from the DOE and the national government is very timely.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only will the IDPs be able to move around during their day-to-day activities, but it will also help them in moving on. Your generosity with these e-trikes will go a long way in helping the IDPs of Marawi City rise again,\u201d the city’s mayor said.<\/p>\n

At present, Gandamra is concerned with the lack of transportation within the city and the fact that some unscrupulous individuals are taking advantage of the passengers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome sectors are taking advantage of the sparse availability of transport vehicles, resulting in a lack of standardization in fares, which is an additional burden to the residents,” he said. “Initially, the local government and TFBM established a ‘Libreng Sakay’ (free ride), but with this e-trike donation, things will get a little easier.\u201d\u00a0(PNA)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
