Macapagal Arroyo suspends logging

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Saturday suspended all logging and said illegal loggers would be prosecuted in the same manner as terrorists, kidnappers, drug traffickers and other hardened criminals. She also urged Congress to stiffen penalties for illegal loggers and their cohorts.

It was unclear how long the moratorium would last or whether it was nationwide.

But experts say the problem is more complex and warned the environmental cost is likely to rise without a more comprehensive policy approach. Poverty, failure of governance and graft could be among factors for the rapid disappearance of the forests.

About 20 storms and typhoons hit the Philippines a year.

"ngayon pa i suspende na may trahedya ng nangyari...."

Good start. Hopefully GMA will enforce dynamiteing and poisioning fish which destroy the coral reefs and habitat. Bottomline is the Philippines needs to cut down on over population which is causing most of their problems including over logging and mudslides.
