TABUK, Kalinga, March 31 – Security forces from the army and the police have been dispatched to Lubo, Tanudan to pacify the looming clan conflict that had claimed two more lives this month.


Fourteen enlisted personnel from the 21st Infantry Battalion, 501st Brigade under 1Lt. Aries Apduhan are now stationed at Lubo to augment local police to prevent trouble from escalating.



Another team from the provincial PNP mobile group will join the peacekeeping force as soon as assignment of personnel in other risk areas is put in place to avoid a security vacuum.


Tanudan Mayor Johnwell Tigganay earlier requested the peacekeeping force through the Provincial Peace and Order Council chaired by Gov. Jocel Baac to be deployed in the area.


Baac directed during the PPOC meeting last week to send a composite team to avert further bloodshed. A composite team was immediately organized and a detachment was established in the conflict zone.


It can be recalled that Roger Cullapoy and Sallaya Condaya of the same Angnganay clan were killed in separate incidents the past weeks allegedly by their enemies as vengeance prize.


Tiggangay said a Scene of the Crime Operative team went to Lubo to conduct investigation on the killing of Condaya and criminal charges have been filed in court against the suspects. *(PAB-PIA-CAR,Kalinga)
