The Army's 103rd Infantry Brigade has facilitated the settlement of a blood feud (rido) between the Alulong and Bantuas clans in Bacolod-Kalawi, Lanao del Sur, officials said Saturday.
Col. Jose Maria Cuerpo, 103Bde commander, said Thursday's “rido settlement” at the Provincial Capitol and is one of the priorities of the command to help attain peace and development in the province of Lanao del Sur.
Cuerpo said the settlement, presided by Bacolod-Kalawi municipal engineer Gorondatu Alulong, was joined by representatives of the Alulong and Bantuas clans. It was witnessed by Col. Nolie Anquillano, 103IBde deputy brigade commander, Abdulmohaimen Dipatuan, Mayor Aslani Balt of Bayang, and Mayor Khalida Sangaguila of Pagayawan.
Cuerpo said the two warring clans engaged in series of armed confrontations since January this year, which caused alarm and panic not just in their community but also in neighboring barangays as well.
Maj. Gen. Generoso Ponio, commander of the Joint Task Force ZamPeLan (the Zamboanga Peninsula and Lanao provinces), attributed the successful settlement of the blood feud to the Bacolod-Kalawi Municipal Task Force on Ending Local Armed Conflict (MTF-ELAC), composed of the Bacolod-Kalawi municipal government, Alpha Company of the 55th Infantry Battalion, Bacolod-Kalawi Municipal Police Station, Municipal Interior and Local Government Office, local traditional leaders, and other government agencies.
The Alulong clan turned over two M16A1, an M653 carbine, and an M1 carbine to show sincerity to the peace agreement.
