PCIC releases P20 million indemnities to farmers
Lurther Romeo Salting, PCIC regional manager, said the undertaking was a respond to those severely affected by El NiƱo phenomenon. He said farmers, who are members of the Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA), may file a claim for monetary indemnity for losses incurred due to the effects of El NiƱo pursuant to the premium subsidy fund from the national government.
He also emphasized the importance of crop insurance and the benefits that can be gained out of the program. “All they have to do is fill up an application form before they start planting their crops, and specify the date they will start planting, their expenses, and the size of the farmland and submit this to the municipal agriculturist of their respective towns,” Salting said.
PCIC is mandated to provide insurance protection to farmers against losses arising from natural calamities, plant diseases and pest infestations of their palay and corn crops as well as other crops. Farmers reported damages on corn, rice, and vegetable crops due to El NiƱo since February. Damages in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental have reached to P309 million for corn while P10 million and P6.9 million for rice and vegetables, respectively. (EOR)

Rebels raid Bukidnon military patrol base
The 4th Infantry Division launched an operation to pursue Commander Alde Salusad alias Ka Butchoy, who is the leader of the raiders, following a daring assault on a military patrol base in Kibungkog village in San Fernando town.
Two other pro-government militias who connived by Salusad’s group is also being hunted down. There were no casualties in the raid, but Salusad’s group caught militias and soldiers by surprise when they attack the army base.
According to the army, Salusad’s group carted at least 14 automatic rifles and radio communication sets, including military uniforms, backpacks and cell phones, among other things.

In 2015, members of the Jesus Miracle Crusade International Ministry (JMCIM) led by Brother Danny Cuarteros went to the mountain hideout of Salusad - who put up his own armed group called the New Indigenous People’s Army Reform – in a daring religious mission and convinced him and about a dozen other followers, including his father, Benjamin, to embrace God.
The JMCIM is one of the largest and most successful apostolic churches based in the Philippines with millions of followers in the country alone. It has stations also in the United States and other parts of the world.
Cuarteros said they travelled to the province and trekked the mountains for nearly 7 hours to convince Salusad’s group to “surrender to the will of the Lord and embrace his teachings and eventually ended being baptized by the JMCIM.”
“And we did, we were able to convince the group of Ka Alde through the power of God and his words to surrender and embrace God in their lives. It was very moving, it’s so emotional and in the end, God is victorious,” he said.
He said not only Salusad and his followers accepted and embraced God; they also donated a parcel of land for the JMCIM so it can put up a chapel in the heart of NIPAR’s stronghold in the town.
According to Cuarteros, Salusad also told village leaders to play worship songs every morning to remind them of God and the glorious mission of JMCIM. “That journey of faith and mission from God has become one of my most unforgettable experiences and it is a mission of peace,” Cuarteros said. “Ka Alde and his group accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour and they wanted to start a new life through the JMCIM.”

Cuarteros’ group recently met with Salusad and his group who even allowed a JMCIM photographer to take pictures with President Rodrigo Duterte’s signature fist pose.
Salusad, who is also being hunted by the now rival group NPA, has reportedly wanted to be part of the government’s militia force Civilian Armed Force Geographical Unit, to protect communities from lawless elements in the province.
It was unknown what triggered Salusad’s group to attack the military base. (Mindanao Examiner)
