CABANATUAN CITY: Combined police, military and environment forces have recovered over 7,000 board feet of illegally sawn lumber in two of Nueva Ecija’s critical areas over the weekend, officials reported on Tuesday.
Joselito Blanco, community environment and natural resources officer from South-Nueva Ecija said that elements of the Army’s 33rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade first overrun a suspected drop off point where they recovered 4,396 board feet of assorted lumber in Barangay Las Piñas, Peñaranda town.
In another operation, police special operations group under Supt. Roel Obusan and DENR personnel found 3,580 bd ft in Barangay Concepcion, Gen. Tinio.
Regidor de Leon, Regional Executive Director for Central Luzon, maintains an intensified drive against illegal logging activities, including mere transport of hot forest products as imposed by the agency under Sec. Angelo Reyes.
Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Indira Dayupay also expressed alarm over the resurface of illegal logging operations in their municipality that is crossed by the Sierra Madre mountain range and Donya Remedios Trinidad Watershed area that covers Angat Dam.
But besides Gen. Tinio and Peñaranda, provincial environment and natural resources Rafael Otic said they never ceased from tightly guarding the entire Nueva Ecija where loggers from adjacent provinces pass through.
