her husbands’ relative to send them away from Marawi City. She was sad upon knowing that there are homes that were ransacked and feared that theirs will not be an exemption. While doing the interview Asni was suffering from cough and fever and shared that they went to the Barangay health Center but was told that the doctor is in Baloi. She also shared that she do some selfmedication for her cough and fever and that her child is also coughing. That since after giving birth, no doctors were there to check and visit them. Even if they want to go to Baloi or to the nearest hospital they cannot do the same because they do not have money to hire a single motorcycle or even for fare. Jamalia on the other hand, was also an arranged marriage, she got married just this February 2017 of a husband twice her age. She also arrived in Pantar the same day with Asni together with their relatives. They boarded the same transportation they called ‘Trak’ (in vernacular) to take them to where most of their relatives are staying. She is three (3) months pregnant but until now no pre-natal check-up was conducted nor was she informed that she has to undergo the same to her and her baby. Noralyn Hajinor from Barangay Padian, Reclamation St (Pantalan), Marawi City. She got married at the age of 17. It took them few days to finally reached Baloi, Lanao del Norte. From Padian to Ramaen where they lived for a while with her grandmother and then to Modiposog until they reach Barangay Landa, Balo-I, Lanao del Norte. The only thing she could remember is that they have to leave their rented home as well as his husband’s business in the fish market. She narrated that she was only able to bring a ‘Malong’ which she used to carry her one (1) year old daughter and run with others who were also trying to escape from fear of being caught in the crossfire. They just ride at random transport just to take them away from the conflict as fast as they can. They do not care where it is going they just ride with it as long as it is away from the conflict zone. The plight going to Baloi is by far the longest trip she could remember bringing nothing but the clothes they worn, it was even a struggle to pay for the fare which cost Php 1,5002,000, which they borrowed from relatives and friends. And they are worried of how they can cope up with the debts without livelihood that will support her family and a home where they can sleep soundly at night.
