An inter-agency team successfully confiscated 1,344 board feet of illegally cut Lawaan timber in Buldon, Maguindanao del Norte.
The timber, valued at over P60,000, was discovered piled in a secluded area by environmental officials and Navy personnel.
Suspects fled the scene upon the arrival of the anti-illegal logging team, leaving behind a chainsaw and gasoline.
Officials stated that the seized timber consisted of a protected dipterocarp tree species.
In response, Maguindanao del Norte Governor Tucao Mastura and BARMM Chief Minister Abdulrauf Macacua vowed to implement stricter environmental protection programs for the region's forested areas.
