The Ministry of Public Order and Safety continues its relentless pursuit towards peace by reconciling 2 (two) feuding families through its Rido Settlement at the 18th Infantry Battalion, Brgy Campo Uno, Lamitan City, Basilan on July 7, 2024.
The said rido settlement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of MPOS with the 18th Infantry Battalion, Local Government Unit of Lamitan City, Punong Barangays in the area, and the Basilan Local Alternative Dispute Resolution Association Inc.
INF GSC PA Commanding Officer 18 IB, LTC Mark Serapion L.
