Again, based on the informal communications, coming from China and Malaysia,\u201d Millar said during a TFBM press briefing in Malacanang.<\/p>\n<p>Millar said TFBM has yet to receive proposals but at least six proponents have already sent informal communication that they will submit unsolicited proposals before February 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the informal communication that we received, we expect about 5 or 6 proponents who will be submitting unsolicited proposals on Monday. That\u2019s gonna be on February 12. That\u2019s the deadline that we have told them,\u201d Millar said.<\/p>\n<p>Millar assured transparency in the selection process, saying a technical working group (TWG) will first review the unsolicited proposals.<\/p>\n<p>The TWG, composed of different government agencies including Commission on Audit (COA), will then submit all the proponents with score cards to the Bangon Marawi Selection Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBangon Marawi Selection Committee will act as the bids and awards committee who would recommend to the TFBM chairman the original proponent status,\u201d Millar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then after that, the original proponent status will be subjected to a Swiss Challenge, wherein the public may again, submit their proposals contesting the original proponent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Millar said groundbreaking of the Marawi City rebuilding is expected to be held during last week of April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat would be the start of the rehabilitation of the most affected areas which is composed of 24 barangays in Marawi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Millar said the entire rehabilitation of Marawi City will be finished not later than December of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Based on initial estimate, at least PHP50 billion will be needed to rehabilitate the war-shattered city in southern Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0\u2013 Foreign firms from China and Malaysia have expressed interest to rebuild war-torn Marawi City, a Task Force Bangon Marawi &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":136259,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[420,851,7206,5747],"class_list":["post-151938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","tag-china","tag-malaysia","tag-marawi","tag-rebuild","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151938","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=151938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
