The families of Hadji Azis Apollo Aloyodan, former mayor of Lumbaca Unayan, Hadji Ibrahim Ampuan, former vice-mayor of Lumbatan, Bukari Ra-ado, and Datu Aragasi Bacontol, Barangay Chairman of Calalon in Lumbaca Unayan as well as their relatives came to a settlement to put an end to their conflicts.
As they signed the covenant of peace, they promised to co-exist peacefully and set aside fighting.
They also agreed to drop all the cases filed in court that are related to the rido.
The settlement that was held Wednesday, January 12, at the Provincial Capitol Gymnasium in Barangay Buadi Sacayo this city was resolved using the traditional system of “taritib” and “igma” or customary laws.
The rido settlement was reached through the efforts of the provincial government facilitated by the Provincial Ulama Council, Council of Elders, Lumbaca Unayan Mayor Itomama Guro, Lumbatan Mayor Mamintal Rasuman, and Marogong Vice-Mayor Sultan Abdulgafor Dumaorong.
Governor Mamintal Adiong Jr. said the settlement of ridos in the province is one of the priority programs of his administration.
Being one of the causes of peace and order problems, rido has remained a stumbling block in the development of the province.
According to the governor, rido can be triggered by politics, land disputes, and “maratabat” or pride, among others. (Apipa P. Bagumbaran/PIA Marawi)
