INITIAL TALKS. Kalinga Governor James Edduba (2nd from right, seated) and Mountain Province Governor Bonifacio Lacwasan Jr. (2nd from left,seated), along with the police and some elders in both provinces, meet for the first time in Sagada, Mountain Province on July 1, 2022 for a short exploratory talk on how to end the conflict between the Betwagan tribe of Sadanga, Mountain Province, and the Butbut tribe of Kalinga. Officials of both provinces agree that the traditional way of settling disputes might help end the tribal war that began in the 1990s.(PNA photo by Liza T. Agoot) BAGUIO CITY - Through the initial act of "sipat" (exchange of tokens) between elders, the local governments are hopeful that the conflict between the Betwagan tribe of Sadanga, Mountain Province, and the Butbut tribe of Kalinga will soon come to an end. "In any endeavor towards peace, let us always be hopeful that the efforts will lead to a good result," Kalinga Governor James Edduba said in an interview on Friday after initial talks with his counterpart, Bonifacio Lacwsan Jr. of Mountain Province. Edduba and Lacwsan met on the sidelines of the opening of the celebration of the Cordillera month on July 1 to support the peace process between the tribes and expressed interest in helping end the conflict. The two tribes share a boundary. The officials said they would initiate the peace process but it would still be up to the tribes' decision. Both governors, however, expressed confidence that the tribal war that began in the early 1990s would be settled with both parties being guided to realize the value of peace. "We are hopeful the tribal war that sows terror and disrupts the normal flow of life of the community people will be settled starting with an exchange of peace tokens," Edduba said. It can be recalled that the national government, led by former president Corazon Aquino, and the local armed group Cordillera People's Liberation Army of former priest Conrado "Ka Ambo" Balweg used the indigenous way of settling disputes, starting with the exchange of peace tokens. Edduba said there are recommendations that the parties "follow the tradition and have a 'sipat' so that there will be something to start with." "If we don't help them see that it is more beautiful to see peace and order, they might not see it anymore," he said. "Every time there is an exchange of (gun) fire, the children run to hide, women carrying children to safety look for a safe place is a very disturbing sight." (PNA) }
ANOTHER HAUL. Marijuana worth over PHP1.5 million is seized by policemen in Cordillera from a tourist from Metro Manila on Sunday (April 17, 2022). Authorities said the bag containing the marijuana was in a bus that originated from Kalinga and bound for Bontoc, Mountain Province. (PNA photo courtesy of PROCor PIO) BAGUIO CITY - A tourist from Metro Manila was arrested by policemen in Mountain Province for attempting to transport over PHP1.5 million worth of marijuana bricks over the weekend. Capt. Marnie Abellanida, information officer of the Police Regional Office-Cordillera (PROCor), in a report shared to the media on Tuesday, identified the suspect as Rosendo Don Piquero Tadeo, 24, resident of Quiapo, Manila. Found in the suspect's bags were 14 bricks of dried marijuana leaves weighing more or less 13.021 kilograms with a standard drug price of PHP1,562,520. According to Abellanida, the suspect was arrested after alighting from a bus that originated from Kalinga province bound for Mountain Province's capital town of Bontoc on Sunday. Abellanida said that based on the original report submitted to the regional office, the contraband was first spotted by intelligence operatives at a checkpoint in Ampawilen, Poblacion, Sadanga, Mountain Province. He said that operatives of the Sadanga municipal police station secretly followed the bus to identify the owner of the bags and coordinated with the chief of police of Bontoc and the Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit, also based in Bontoc. The report said that upon the arrival of the bus at Poblacion, Bontoc, the suspect picked up the bags and tried to avoid the police officers manning the PNP assistance desk, which prompted the operatives to accost him. Abellanida said that in the past several other tourists attempted to sneak in illegal drugs from Kalinga or other parts of the region but ended up getting arrested. "Maraming tumutulong sa kapulisan para masugpo ang iligal na droga kaya sana wag na silang sumubok na magdala kasi mahuhuli at mahuhuli sila (there are many who support the police in its campaign against illegal drugs so we hope they will not try transport because they will surely be caught)," Abellanida said in a phone interview. He added that many tourists from different regions are currently detained in Cordillera jails after being caught for the illegal transport of marijuana. (PNA) }
