MUSINGS FROM TEXAS: Tatay Bido's interreligious dialogue with Muslims in Mindanao

MCALLEN, Texas – One of the most visible “walking the talk” acts of the late Bienvenido Tatay Bido S. Tudtud was his apostolate of presence shortly after he was appointed as Bishop of the Prelature of Marawi in 1977. He lived among the Meranaw Muslims right in the heart of the Islamic City of Marawi in vulnerability, up until his untimely death in June 26, 1987.

Their respect for him grew strongly through the years that the late bishop became an untouchable person among Meranaw bandits in Lanao del Sur, a province notorious for kidnap-for-ransom activities, where victims were mostly Christian business persons, students and religious leaders, both Catholics and Protestants. Among those forcibly taken from the 1970s to 1980s were an American Presbyterian missionary, a French priest, and 13 nuns of the Carmelite contemplatives.

In the last quarter of 1986, i joined Tatay Bido’s small production team together with former seminarian Carl Zafra and came out with a one minuter spot on the life of a Guachinango character introduced as Bido Lala aired over dxDD.
