[STRAITSTIMES] It has been over two months since the Philippine government declared victory over a well-armed and highly motivated cabal of Muslim militants that laid siege to Marawi city. The military has allowed half the city's more than 200,000 residents to return, but not to the devastated half that is filled with unexploded ordnance and booby traps. What awaits the residents of Marawi is more uncertainty and the ever looming threat that the militants may soon return.
