PAGADIAN CITY (Aug.16, 2019) - Military and local officials helped end a 40-year clan war in Marawi City on August 14, military official said.
Maj. Arvin Encinas, WesMinCom
spokesperson disclosed that the decades-long dispute between the Baraontong,
Macud, Rangeris, and Magandia families and the Ditopor and Faisal Lumamba families
was fueled by political rivalry and land dispute.
The parties yielded two M16 rifles,
magazines, and ammunition to military troops. They also signed the agreement “Kapasadan”
and pledge to the Qur’an to show their sincerity in ending the clan war, according
to Lt. Col. Edgar Allan Villanueva, 49th Infantry Battalion Commander.
Masiu municipal Mayor Nasser Pangandaman
and Mayor Lampa Pandi of Poona Bayabao, who also facilitated the end of
dispute, thanked the troops who stood as the mediator of the warring clans.
“We are all Filipinos and brothers in
blood. We must unite and not allow our younger generations to inherit the
grudges and the rages we had in our past,” Brig. Gen. Romeo Brawner, Jr., 103rd
Infantry Brigade Commander also said,
The said Rido settlement was held at the
103rd Inf Bde headquarters in Marawi City.
“If we resolve conflicts between warring
clans, then we make strides in ending hostilities for our peace and security
goals in Mindanao. That is why we are doing all that we can do to pacify family
and political feuds and demilitarize organized groups to end armed struggles in
the operational area,’’ Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of Western
Mindanao Command also said.
“The military bridges grassroots negotiations
and reconciliations in the hope that this will advance our campaign for stability
in the regions,” Lt. Gen. Sobejana explained. (With CPIO PR and Photos)
