TABUK CITY, KALINGA – If the Matagoan Bodong Consultative Council (MBCC), this city’s equivalent of the local peace and order council, will have its way, the oppressive practice among some Kalinga natives of making immigrants “ransom” goods stolen from them will be a thing of the past.
This developed after the MBCC recently passed a policy compelling proven fences to return the stolen goods to the owner or pay him the value thereof and also to pay a corresponding fine.
Community Affairs Officer Heriberto Barila said that the policy outlaws the practice among some native Kalingas of forcing immigrants to “redeem” their stolen properties from the fences adding that the passage of the policy is in response to the mounting complaints of immigrant victims against the practice.
According to Barila, the policies being enacted by the MBCC takes the place of the pagta or laws of the bodong (peace pact) in the center of the city which is called the Matagoan Zone or peace zone consisting of the barangays of Dagupan Centro, Dagupan Weste, Magsaysay, Appas, San Juan, Bulanao Norte and Bulanao.
“These barangays are not covered by the bodong so the policies of the MBCC takes the place of the pagta,” Barila said. All Kalinga native tribes practice the bodong.
Foremost of the policies passed by the MBCC is the “no gopas” policy which outlaws the practice of tribal wars in the Matagoan Zone.
Also passed recently by MBCC are the policies prohibiting kulligong, threat, grave threat, and theft.
Barila defined the kulligong as the principle of treating the domiciles of members of Kalinga tribes outside their ancestral domain as an extension of the territory of the tribe.
He said that the prohibition on the application of the kulligong principle in the Matagoan Zone is to help in law enforcement it being that policemen belonging to Kalinga native tribed often stop on their tracks when their quarries take refuge in residences of Kalinga natives in the Matagoan Zone for fear of complicating the relations of their tribes with those of the suspects.
In recent years, some law enforcers have been haled before the bodong for acts committed while in pursuit of Kalinga native suspects and that such acts have been known to put on the line the good relations between the tribes of the law enforcers and the suspects. The MBCC which forerunner Matagoan Bodong Council was created in 2001 to breathe life to the Matagoan Declaration for Tabuk made by the Kalinga Bodong Congress sometime in the 80s but remained a mere declaration in the following years is using the indigenous conflict resolution process specifically the areglo or amicable settlement system in dispensing justice and restoring peace among tribes, families and individuals who are in conflict.
