"The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said the Office of the President and the DENR approved the logging operations of International Hardwood and Veneer Corp., Timberland Forest Products, Industries Development Corp., RCC Timber Co. and Top Lite Corp.
The government granted permits and concessions to these "logging giants" in the form of IFMAs between January 2001 and November 2002, Pamalakaya chair Fernando Hicap said in a statement.
The group said this was how the five firms got their permits:
In January 2001, the government allowed International Hardwood and Veneer Corp. to operate on 13,527 hectares of forest in Mauban town, Quezon.
On Nov. 12, 2002, the national government through the DENR approved the logging operation of Timberland Forest Products, covering 34,660 ha in General Nakar.
On Dec. 5, 2001, the President also approved the operations of Industries Development Corp. and RCC Timber Co. in Aurora through the IFMA. The two companies were allowed 48,877 ha and 23,140 ha, respectively.
On July 9, 2002, the DENR approved the logging permit of Top Lite Corp., also in Aurora, which covered 8,630 ha. "While former Environment Secretary Elisea Gozun suspended the permit for quite some time, new Environment Secretary Michael Defensor overturned the decision and lifted the suspension two weeks ago," the group said."

Pero si Sec. Defensor ang nag issue ng logging permit sa Toplite. Former Sec. Elisea Gozun suspended the permit of Toplite pero nung pumalit si Defensor ni-lift niya yung suspension.
We should probably start an initiative on asking the Congress to pass a law that all logging permit application must include public hearing.
- The application must be reviewed by the community affected by the concessions.
- It should be published on a major newspaper.
- Research on endangered species must be conducted.
This is how they do it on North America.
(Please people don't shoot me. I write software for loggers and lumber yards. If you have any question why logging is a big concern in Philippines but not in North America, you can e-mail me.)

Nakakapagtaka anu, pag tinanung mu ang mga politiko natin kung payag sila sa logging, lagi nilang sagut hinde. Peru iba na kung titingnan natin kung anung ginagawa nila para matigil ang logging. Lagi nilang sinisisi ang mga illegal loggers (carabao loggers, kaingin) pero yung mga legal loggers di nila pinapakialaman.
Ang mga tutulong sana sa atin, si Sen. Angara, Cong. Angara at Gov. Angara-Castillo, ay lahat ayaw sa logging pag tinanung, peru wala silang ginagawa para pigilan ang logging sa atin sa Aurora legal o ilegal. Sabi pa nga ni Cong. Angara noon nung kumakampanya siya, kung legal daw naman ay bakit pipigilan dahil dumaan naman sa proseso. Ang ating Governor, ay walang imik pagdating diyan. Yung dating namumuno, si Gov. Ong at si Gov. Ong, ganun din. Di nila pinakialaman ang mga loggers. Si Eddie Ong ay umamin na loggers daw sila peru nung 1970s daw ay huminto na sila kaya de sila dapat sisihin sa nangyari nung nakaraan. Ay lintek naman pag dumaan ka sa Canili road, lahat na dadaanan mung bundok puru kalbu. Sila ang umubus duun (inamin na niya ay!)
Kaya dapat pag tatanungin uli natin sila kung pabor sila sa logging o hindi, pag sinabi nilang hindi, ay tanungin natin kung anung ginagawa nilang hakbang para mapigilan ang logging sa atin. Akaw! baka sa susunud maagus na ang Aurora sa dagat, ay de na pwedeng kumandidatu at wala na ang aurora. Dapat kabhan sila.
Akaw yan din si Jamby Madrigal, pamilya niyan loggers. Hanggang sa Dingalan mayruun.
Anu kaya magpadala tayu ng isang Call for Action letter sa mga officials natin. Hindi kailangang mag-rally. Sumulat lang tayu at sabihing wala tayung nakikitang aksyon mula sa kanila. Tapus mag signature campaign. Tingnan lang natin kung anung magiging reaction nila.
kabayan..taga ibang bansa rin ako...huwag monang gamitin itong web site natin baka pati ito ay idamay nila sa logging ito nalang ang libangan naming naninirahan dito sa ibang bansa
