BANGUED, Abra – To maintain peace in the province, Representative Teddy Baguilat headed the mountain climbing to resolve boundary disputes of two tribes.

Around 100 people from the municipalities of Tubo and Boliney in Abra trudged their way up in Mt. Poswoy on January 27 to conduct an ocular inspection of traditional boundaries now subject to a lingering dispute.

Baguilat led the ocular inspection which was conducted with the presence of the representatives from the Foundation for Philippine Environment, Central and Provincial offices of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and the Philippine National Police of the province.

The inspection was recommended by the officials of the two fighting tribes so Baguilat could see the disputed area for himself and decide on how to find an amicable end to the dispute.
