AGGIE NEWS: DA opens RSBSA Finder

To provide easier access to data, the Department of Agriculture (DA) launches the Registry System for Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA) Finder through finder-rsbsa.da.gov.ph.

Said system was developed to assist registrants to confirm if their registration was successful and also generates a temporary digital DA Interventions Monitoring Card (IMC) which contains their official RSBSA number.

RSBSA is an electronic compilation of basic information about farmers, farm workers, fisherfolk and agri-youth which serves as the basis for availing DA interventions.

For Region 10, a total of 498,503 farmers and fisherfolk have already registered into the system as of May 11, 2023, based on the official RSBSA dashboard data. # (AMBManto)

MATALAM, North Cotabato – Police, backed by soldiers, killed three suspects and arrested another following a shootout during an anti-drug operation here, police said Friday.

Lt. Col Arniel Melocotones, municipal police chief, identified those slain as Abdulkarim Unsil, the principal target of the operation, and alleged accomplices Gerald Mangiling and Kanacan Unsil, all of Barangay Marbel.

Arrested was Harold Singcala Kalunsing, 23, of the same village.

Armed with a search warrant from a local court, the police-military team swooped down on Unsil’s hideout in Sitio Kisupit, Barangay Marbel on Thursday morning but was met with gunfire from the suspects, Melocotones said.

“Our team was forced to retaliate which resulted in the shootout and death of the three suspects,” he added.

Recovered from the Unsil group’s hideout were “shabu” items worth PHP182,250; two .45-caliber pistols, a .38-caliber revolver, and ammunition.

Seven motorcycles were also seized and were turned over to the custody of the police’s Highway Patrol Group for further verification. (PNA)
