'Rido' settled by Philippine Army

THE Army's 602nd Infantry Brigade (602IB) has facilitated the settlement of a rido (clan war) involving Moro families in Pagalungan town, Maguindanao del Sur, a military official said on Wednesday.

Brig. Gen. Donald Gumiran, the Army's 602IB commander, said the rido settlement on Tuesday afternoon was also made possible by the backing of Anwar Alamada, chairman of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front Adhoc Joint Action Group, and Butch Malang, chairman of the MILF Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities.
