The Pangat, the Mountains, and the Rivers
Synopsis
Macli-ing Dulag was a pangat of the Butbut tribe of Kalinga province in the Philippines. He is best known as one of the leaders of the opposition to the Chico River Dam Project, which led to his assassination by armed forces under the command of then-dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Desperate government officials sent armed men to Macliing’s house. These men, led by Philippine Army officer, shot Macliing to death. This historic success was achieved at the price of Macliing’s life. The people who refused to yield held a Macliing Dulag Memorial to commemorate his martyrdom.
