In this photo taken on September 8, 2026, Soraya Tambo stands inside her house next to graffiti left behind by combatants from the IS-aligned Maute group in Marawi, Lanao del sur province on the southern island of Mindanao. Tambo, 73, has reopened her motorcycle parts shop on the ground floor of her four-storey property, aided by 500,000 pesos in building materials and some cash handed out by the regional government. From May to October of 2017, Islamic State-linked gunmen and the Philippine military fought brutal house-to-house battles that turned Marawi's 400-hectare business district into a ghost town.
