and is now Chief of Police of Marangani, a municipality inhabited by Maranganis, a tribe of Kalinga, whose people warmly adopted him as one of their own. As Chief of Police, Kardo faces the twin threat of Allegre Mining, which is owned by Mr. Torralba and the Tawingan tribe. The former seeks to reopen a long dormant mine over the objections of the native Marangani tribe; the latter on the other hand, is locked in a bitter tribal war with the Maranganis and have been employed by Allegre Mining to harass the natives thus making it appear that attacks are in furtherance of the tribal war.
