"Being a Moro and a Muslim, kung kailangan ng brother mo 'yung (when your brother needs) support, whether he asks for it or not, automatic 'yan na dapat ibigay mo (that's automatic that you should give). And of course, trabaho namin 'yun (that is our job) to do our best to support this facility and the City of Marawi," he said.

He also emphasized that the Ministry of Health is ready to provide support for the operation of the Marawi City Health Unit if needed.

The minister further emphasized that it is good to have reforms in the health delivery system, such as unity and teamwork, to serve the community at large, especially since many will benefit from them.
