The siege of the city of Marawi continues. The military has reduced the fighting into a one hectare city property which continues to take soldiers' lives. The military has been surprised by the locally born and ISIS inspired Mautes. The weapons they have recovered so far are from their own inventory.

Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place.
