Tabuk, Kalinga – The Killing of Roman Catholic priest Fr. Francisco Madhu, 31, in Mabungtot, Lubuagan, this province, on Palm Sunday has strained the relations of the Mabungtot and Lubuagan tribes.
According to reliable sources, the Mabungtot tribe is presently demanding two carabaos from the Lubuagan tribe as penalty for the violation of their bodong or peace pact cause by the murder.
The source said that two of the suspects in the shooting to death of Madhu, and Indonesian, are Lubuagans and that the third suspect is a mestizo Mabungtot and Tanglag (Lubuagan) but is a resident of New Tanglag, Tabuk.
Charges have already been filed against the three but they are still at large.
The sources said that one of the carabaos is for the violation of the dimok provision of the bodong while the other is for the figurative spilling of the food eaten by the priest in Mabungtot.
Under the dimok principle, harming a guest of a tribe is a grave offense.** Estanislao Albano, Jr.
