The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), for its part,  earlier said that it will provide livelihood aid to  the displaced workers due to the crisis.  Marawi residents, including OFW families had voluntarily evacuated their homes in area since last week due to the rising tension.

Meanwhile, Department of Social Welfare and Development opened various evacuation centers in Mindanao following the exodus of the residents in Marawi City. According to DSWD Sec. Judy Taguiwalo, they have  food packs and non-food items on standby for distribution for affected residents from Marawi City.  DSWD assures to keep the safety of every residents in the area especially the women, children and the elderly.
