PALAWAN, EL NIDO, far from the white sand beaches and tourist lime stone formations, is a budding charcoal and timber trade unmindfull to authorities and slowly decimating whatever is left of El Nido's forests in Barangay Bagumbayan. According to NGO paraenforcers of PNNI and personnel from the MNLF Rajah Amir Bahar command, this activity has long been conducted without government enforcement owing to the approximately ten (10) hectares of cleared forests. The charcoal and hot lumber are allegedly loaded in closed vans that freely pass by check points with relative ease. Confiscated from the area is a marble plastic shot gun used to scare authorities from pursuing the violators. The said item is deadly and can bring down a man at medium range. The chainsaw was not seized as it was transported out to safety upon ascent of the team to the cutting area. PNNI has been pushing for a more aggressive enforcement program from governmemt agencies whose focus seems to be on tourism, business, and development. And with the current set up of having check points rather than forest patrols, it is highly unlikely that El Nido's forests will remain protected.

𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝟭𝟮 — A timely intelligence tip from the Moro National Liberation Front community led to the successful recovery of more than ₱7.8 million worth of smuggled ci******es in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat on October 13, 2025.

At about 5:00 PM, personnel of the Regional Intelligence Division 12 and Palimbang Municipal Police Station, SKPPO, in coordination with the Bureau of Customs, responded to the information relayed by the MNLF community regarding a pile of cigarette boxes believed to be smuggled and intended for transport and sale at an opportune time in the coastal area of Barangay Kraan, Palimbang.

Upon arrival, the operating team saw two unidentified male individuals guarding and arranging the said pile of ci******es. However, upon sensing the presence of approaching police operatives, the suspects immediately fled toward different directions, leaving behind the contraband items. The team recovered 177 boxes and 50 reams of F2 Ci******es, 19 boxes of Tabaco Ci******es, 62 reams of Hero Ci******es, and 50 reams of Canon Ci******es, all with a Bureau of Customs standard value amounting to ₱7,828,139.60.

The confiscated smuggled ci******es were brought to Palimbang MPS for documentation and proper disposition and will be turned over to the Bureau of Customs Sub-Port in General Santos City for appropriate action.

In a statement, PBGEN ARNOLD P ARDIENTE, Regional Director of Police Regional Office 12, commended the cooperation of the MNLF community that led to the successful law enforcement operation.

“We deeply appreciate the vigilance and cooperation of our MNLF brothers who have shown genuine commitment to the rule of law and to the fight against smuggling. Together, we continue to strengthen our shared vision of a safer and more progressive SOCCSKSARGEN,” PBGEN ARDIENTE said. # # #

PALAWAN, ROXAS, Ang dating mayabong na mangrove sa Barangay Zabala ay unti unti ng kinakalbo at pinapatay ang old growth mangrove para bigyan di umano ng daan ang pang turismong layunin. Ayon sa mga mangingisda doon sa lugar ay hapon at madaling araw ang pagputol ng bakawan gamit ang chainsaw para sa mabilisang pagkalbo ng Mangrove.
Sa ilalim ng PD 2152 ang Palawan ay isang mangrove swamp and forest reserve. Ayon sa SEP o R.A 7611 ang mangrove ay core zone dahil pinamumugaran at iniitlogan ito ng samo't saring yamang dagat na importante sa ating food chain. Panangga din ito sa tsunami kaya nga BEYOND the commerce of men ang mangroves. Maganda ang layunin ng batas ngunit kung ito ay nananatiling nakasulat at walang nagpapatupad na hindi para sa lahat at exempted ang mga kamag-anak e para ano pa and silbi nito? Nananawagan tayo sa mga ahensya ng batas na imbistegahan ito at ipatupad ang nararapat!
