WESTMINCOM: Feuding families peacefully settle disputes in Lanao del Sur

Posted to the Western Mindanao Command (WESTMINCOM) Website (Apr 29, 2019): Feuding families peacefully settle disputes in Lanao del Sur



Troops of the 6th Infantry (Redskin) Battalion under Lieutenant Colonel Clairemont Pinpin in coordination with the local government of Balabagan and the Philippine National Police successfully facilitated the rido settlement between two warring families in Balabagan, Lanao del Sur.



The ceremony was held at the Municipal Hall of said municipality on Saturday, April 27.

The Jamison and Magaluyan families finally settled their years-long dispute after series of negotiations.

“As public servant, you should be fair in serving the people, Muslims and Christians will have the same weight in my shoulder as far as peace is concern,” Balabagan mayor said.

The 6th Infantry Battalion through the Bravo Company under the leadership of 1st Lieutenant Elvis Dela Cruz facilitated the settlement and emphasized that armed and violent conflicts injure not only the economic and social life of the community but the precious human lives are being sacrificed as well. Also, it is a hindrance to the political and spiritual development of the community.
