On December 23, Bombo Radyo Baguio shared a public service on its Facebook page informing the public about a missing P14,000 cash and 10 dollars of a specific Candido Baniaga.
Mr. Baniaga is an old farmer from Madaymen in Kibungan, Benguet. He is the recognized death aid collector, a collector of donations or contributions for the dead in the village.
"This old man is a collector of death aids. He travels daily to collect but accidentally loses the money he has collected. Fourteen thousand pesos (14K) and 10 pieces of dollars and a list of credits today ... if you can find it please let us know ..., " Jayson Pascual Tulabis of Benguet reported on Monday, December 23, about Baniaga's condition at a local radio station.
Tulabis said Baniaga went to their local church to ask for prayers because he had lost the money collected. It's at P14,000 and $ 10.
On December 24, Christmas Eve, it was reported that the money had been found by another resident of Madaymen and returned to Baniaga.
