Trade Women and Children for Animals in Mindanao
A March attack in interior Bukidnon shows a barbarous barter of women and children for animals. Lumitay Matdinogan and Hinobayan Manbinatha led raids, injuring Ligdonan and abducting Mahiguin and Julia while Cumobay and others were captured. The victims were moved toward Pulangi, with mothers and daughters traded for cattle and a boy escaping to alert authorities. A patrol led by Sergeant Sersamin investigated, linking the crime to an old tribal practice and markets like Salug in Davao province where captives are exchanged for beasts.
