COTABATO CITY – A series of gunfire in the rido-ridden municipality of Malabang in Lanao del Sur late Sunday until the wee hours of the morning have scared residents, disrupting people’s sleep, reports said.But officials of the Philippine National Police and the Commission on Elections could not say if the series of gunfire that started around 9 p.m. Sunday until 2 a.m. Monday at Barangay Chinatown was election-related or due to the rido as no witnesses have so far come out.
The Comelec has placed Malabang under its control two weeks ago because of the intense rivalry between two big political clans, said municipal election officer Abdul Jabbar Noor. For mayor, it is a clash between Alinader Mariam Balindong and Al-Rashid Boloto Macapodi . For vice mayor, the outgoing mayor is being challenged by Raizoli Sarip Balindong.
