Marawi, officially the Islamic City of Marawi (Maranao: Bandar a Marawi; Template:Langx; Jawi (Batang Arab): Template:Script/Arabic), is a component city and capital of the province of Lanao del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 207,010 people.Template:PH wikidata

Marawi is located upon the shores of Lake Lanao.[1] It is primarily inhabited by the Maranao people. The city is also called the "Summer Capital of the South" due to its higher elevation and cooler climate,[2]Script error: No such module "Unsubst". a nickname it shares with Malaybalay.[3]Template:Better source needed

On May 23, 2017, the city suffered extensive damage during the Siege of Marawi as militants affiliated with the Islamic State invaded the city and engaged in a five-month urban warfare,[4] until when Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana announced the ending of the battle in October.

Etymology

Dansalan (Marawi's prior name) derived from the Mëranaw word "dansal", which means rendezvous; literally, it also means arrival[5] (in other source,[6] "where the waves come to shore"). Being known as the destination point for arriving boats,[6] the place refers to a port,[7] hence, the "Place of Destination and Purpose."[8]

Meanwhile, Marawi is derived from the word "rawi", which means reclining, in reference to Agus River.[5] On the other hand, this present name is in honor of the city's martyred hero in Kuta Marahui (Fortress of Marawi) in 1895.[6]

Dansalan began as a port.[6] A sovereign of Marawi before 1639 was "Datu Buadi Sa Kayo" who imposed taxation.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Around the original Meranaw fortification, Spanish captain Francisco Atienza founded a settlement called Dansalan in October 1639. His forces had come from Iligan and were attempting to conquer the entire Lake Lanao area. However, it was abandoned later the same year when thousands of Meranaw soldiers invested the then-fortifying settlement, pressing the Spaniards hard and thus they returned to Iligan, having failed in their quest.[7]

The Spaniards only returned to the area when they began the conquest of the Sultanate of Maguindanao in the 19th century.[7] They made attempts to capture Marawi, a Maranao stronghold, twice until they succeeded in 1895 with the deaths of Datu Amai Pakpak and Datu Sinal.[9] They abandoned the place again upon the arrival of the Americans in the Mindanao in 1898.[7][9]

Dansalan was created as a municipality by the Moro Province legislative council on May 24, 1907;[8][10] served as the capital of the undivided Lanao Province since its declaration by the American colonial government.[5][6]

It was in this municipality when, on March 18, 1935, a group of 189 Maranao leaders and its leader, Hadji Abdulhamid Bongabong of Unayan, signed a document known as the Dansalan Declaration, urging then United States President Franklin Roosevelt and its Congress to grant Mindanao and Sulu separate independence by the United States instead of inclusion in the country's independence.[9][11]

Cityhood and renaming into Marawi

Dansalan was the last to become a chartered city under the country's Commonwealth era with the approval of Commonwealth Act No. 592 on August 19, 1940.[6][12] During World War II, the Japanese invaded Dansalan and established a "comfort station" in the city, where local girls, teenagers, and young adults were kidnapped and turned into sex slaves under brutal "comfort women" system, where victims were routinely gang-raped and killed by Japanese soldiers.[13][14][15] After the Second World War, inauguration took place on September 30, 1950.[16] It was renamed Marawi City on June 16, 1956 through Republic Act (RA) No. 1552 which amended the charter.[6][17][5][8]

Upon division of Lanao province through RA No. 2228 in 1959, it was made capital of Lanao del Sur.[6][18]

The city, being the country's only predominantly Muslim chartered city, was declared "Islamic City of Marawi" through City Council Resolution No. 19-A on April 15, 1980.[5][6][8] This was proposed by Parliamentary Bill No. 261 in the defunct Batasang Pambansa, the country's former parliament during the Marcos regime, reportedly to attract funds from the Middle East.[2]
