PHPhilippine police authorities in Oriental Mindoro conducted anti-illegal logging operations, seizing over P204,000 worth of allegedly illegally sourced lumber and arresting two men. The larger seizure occurred in Pola, where a man was caught transporting 4,000 board feet of sawn coconut lumber valued at around P200,000 without proper permits. The chainsaw used was registered, but the lumber lacked necessary documentation. Authorities plan to verify and scale the wood with the Philippine Coconut Authority before secure storage. Earlier, in Bongabong, another suspect was detained for transporting 15 pieces of illegally sawn Antipolo lumber worth P4,240. Both cases involve violations of Republic Act No. 10593 and Presidential Decree No. 705, with charges pending.
