Mayor Cruz recently lifted the curfew hours only in the business district of Iligan. However, the curfew (10pm to 5am) remains in full effect in the sub-urban and hinterland barangays. Other barangays (not part of this category) will have in the meantime a modified curfew hours from 12am to 4am.
The business district (where the curfew is lifted) covers the area from the Iligan pier to the Iligan City hospital, and from Tominobo bridge to Hinaplanon bridge.
The City of Iligan declared a state of emergency recently when bombs exploded in the city area, followed by the barbaric attack of MILF against innocent civilians in the towns of Lanao del Norte driving people to evacuate in Iligan.
Iligan has become the virtual sanctuary of people in Lanao Norte affected by armed hostilities in the past --and at present, by the atrocities of the MILF.
Mayor Cruz expressed his gratitude to all those who helped the evacuees by sending their timely donations and assistance.
