Introduction
The vicinities of Iligan City are often rocked by clan wars known in the local dialect as RIDU. Most prominent among the communities are the Barangays of Rogongon, Kalilangan, and Panoroganan where there is a mix of inhabitants composed of the Higaonons, Kolibogans, and Christian Settlers.
The Higaonons are an ethnic group who inhabited the mountainous areas of the Provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. The Kolibogan is a hybrid ethnic grouping since it is the result of the inter-marriage of the Maranaos from Lanao del Sur and the Higaonons. The third group who inhabit the said communities are Christian settlers mostly Cebuano and Boholanos. Among the three groups, the Kolibogans and Higaonons are the more dominant both in terms of population size and in terms of economic wealth and access to political power.
RIDU is a cultural practice common among the Maranaos of Lanao and the Higaonons of Bukidnon. This practice follows the old dictum: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. When a certain member of a certain clan is either harmed or humiliated or killed, they are bound by this tradition to do exactly the same to the clan responsible for the crime until it becomes an endless tale of vengeance. Failure to take revenge the fallen clan member is an indication of poor Maratabat, a Maranao term without a direct English translation but which in practice could mean pride, morale, or integrity.
