B. The Project
1. Rationale

Unfortunately, Marawi City was ruined by a man-made disaster that lasted for a year.
A certain group of lawless elements called Maute group-ISIS occupied Marawi City
sometimes on May 23, 2017 that had forced the Philippines Government Military Forces to
wage war against them which everybody knew to be among the fiercest battles that ever
happened in the country. The Marawi Siege had brought about great damages and
destructions in the City of Marawi more particularly in its central part now known as Ground
Zero. Bloodshed happened all over the ground zero areas for thousands of the members of the
terrorist group and the government military troops were killed. Not even one of the big
commercial buildings and beautiful residential houses had remained standing without having
incurred damages and destructions. The ground zero areas were completely ruined by the
stroke of bombs, cannon and bullets of guns and calibers. It almost turned into ashes and all
commercial establishments within said areas were gone.

The victims of the war were suffering in the different areas where they evacuated.
They are now on the process of recovery, hence, a need to help them in a way that could make
them live again on a fruitful lives. It is but a best move to establish various kinds of business
ventures in some parts of the ruined city to address some gaps and concerns now arising
among its constituents.
Along these lines, the cooperative leadership had envisioned to establish a
Cooperative Grocery Store in barangay Sagonsongan, Marawi City with the aim of helping
the consumer public of the barangay and its nearby barangays through the operation of a
grocery store in which all necessary grocery items will be available for sale, hence, this
project study is being prepared for possible funding assistance.
