On March 13, 2023, the Ministry of Public Order and Safety (MPOS) held a Mapping and Consultation event for “Kambalingan (A Rehabilitation Program for Rido-Affected Communities)” at the Sitangkai Municipal Hall, Sitangkai, Tawi-Tawi.
The activity gathered key stakeholders, including the Municipal Mayor, members of the municipal multi-sectoral committee, representatives from the PNP (Sitangkai Municipal Police Station and 3rd MP, PMFC) and Philippine Marine (MBLT-12), and other concerned parties to address the issue of rido in the identified rido-affected communities.
During the discussion, the MDRRMO of Sitangkai facilitated the identification of rido-affected areas in the locality, including Sitio Bungin, Barangay Datu Puti, and Barangay Datu Baguinda in Sitangkai, Tawi-Tawi.
Following the mapping and consultation, the Ministry will conduct a Focus Group Discussion and Key Informant Interview to document the evidence-based effects of rido on affected communities and serve as a reference in prioritizing rido-affected areas.
Mayor Tiblan C. Ahaja expressed his gratitude to MPOS for providing conflict resolution interventions in their locality. “𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵 𝘔𝘗𝘖𝘚 𝘥𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘺-𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯, 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘸𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘉𝘛𝘔𝘝𝘛 (𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺-𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯) 𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘢𝘪.
