'''11 NPA fighters yield in Sultan Kudarat town'''.<br>
TACLOBAN CITY – Agriculture Secretary William Dar announced on Thursday a PHP1.1 billion budget for fuel subsidies for corn farmers and fishermen in the country to cushion the impact of soaring oil prices. On top of the legislated PHP500 million fuel subsidies, President Rodrigo Duterte has approved the disbursement of PHP600 million for farmers’ fuel discounts, Dar said during a meeting with farmers, fisherfolk, local government officials in Leyte province, and agriculture officials here. “By April, there will be an additional PHP600 million for corn farmers, (and) fishers. Our appeal to you is do not stop producing food. Continue what you are doing even if we are dealing with this global crisis,” Dar said.
COTABATO CITY – The government’s campaign to reunite communist rebels with their families and the mainstream society continues to gain ground as 11 New Peoples’ Army rebels have surrendered in Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat. Kalamansig Mayor Rolando Garcia welcomed the former rebels on Friday during the surrender rites, providing them initially with livelihood assistance and a sack of rice. “We welcome them as the government is doing everything for their reintegration into mainstream society,” Garcia said in a media statement. “They made the right decision to surrender because an armed struggle has been proven ineffective,” he added.
