Bontoc, Mountain Province – Representatives of the Tulgao tribe accepted the offer of relatives of Domingo Bangsoy for an out-of-court settlement of the twin cases filed against the latter at the regional trial court here.
Bangsoy was nabbed by Sabangan policemen after he killed a Tulgao tribesman and wounded another in Madepdepas last August 20. This resulted in the creation of mediation groups by the provincial peace and order councils of this province and Kalinga to peacefully handle the case to avoid possible escalation of the incident into an armed tribal conflict which may cause the loss of innocent lives.
In the meeting of the concerned parties and officials at the provincial capitol here last Monday chaired by Bontoc mayor Franklin Odsey, the Tulgao elders agreed to the proposal made by Bangsoy through Sagada mayor Eduardo Latawan, Sabangan mayor Donato Danglose and Sagada ABC president Jaime Dugao to settle the case the indigenous way.
Bangsoy could not personally attend the meeting since he is still detained at the provincial jail pending the resolution of the cases filed against him.
As a gesture of his desire to amicably resolve the problem, Bangsoy offered to sell a titled property to foot some of the financial obligations on account of the agreement. Officials of Sagada and Sabangan hinted that some individuals may voluntarily help Bangsoy given his initiative in tendering his treasured property for the fast resolution of the issue. They however explained that such donation does not mean consenting to the criminal act. “We simply want peace and harmonious relationship among our constituents so that we could go on without fear of possible retribution,” the officials emphasized. **by angel baybay, ZZW read more
