the same cannot be pinpointed or shown to the team allegedly for lack of
knowledge by the representative of the IFMA holder. Finally, the presiding
officer reminded the herein IFMA representative Mr. Inocencio Santiago
that per actual survey, inspection and ground verification, the team
believes that the other reported areas planted are located outside the
designated IFMA area particularly the Noburan and Langapod sides.[6]
After the presentation, Mangaya-ay asked Santiago if he had comments,
suggestions, or questions regarding the matter and the manner of the conduct of the
evaluation and assessment by the Evaluation Team. Santiago said he had none, but
requested a copy of the report of the Evaluation Team. Mangaya-ay informed him
that it was only RED Mendoza who may furnish him a copy of the report.
Later, the Evaluation Team submitted a report through a Memorandum[7] dated
November 6, 1998 to the DENR-RED of Region 9, Zamboanga City, on the evaluation
and assessment of respondent under IFMA No. R-9-040. The said Memorandum
stated In compliance with Regional Special Order No. 217, Series of 1998,
please be informed that the herein information is the result or findings of
the team for the conduct of evaluation and assessment following the
guidelines setforth under Department Administrative Order (DAO) No. 11,
Series of 1995 of Pagadian Timber Co., Inc. under IFMA No. R9-040
against their actual accomplishment as mandated under the terms and
conditions of the IFMA including other applicable laws, rules and
regulations of the department on the matter.
At the onset, the team conducted a briefing conference and dialogue with
the IFMA holder, the CENR Officer of Pagadian City and personnel
concerned for the proper and orderly implementation and conduct of the
evaluation and assessment (please see attached).
The team was composed of the Regional Evaluating Team, the CENRO
and PENRO representatives and the representatives of the IFMA holder.
The team proceeded to the western portion of the area of the herein IFMA
particularly Barangay Cogonan, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur. The
evaluation and assessment was then conducted on the main nursery, the
established plantation, the look-out towers, the boundary of ISF and
claimed or occupied areas, natural or residual forest, the IFMA boundary,
monuments planted, foot trails, other improvements introduced and the
billboard and signboard posted. The inspection, evaluation and
assessment conducted were all undertaken in the presence of the IFMA
holder, representatives, laborers and other personnel on the area. (please
see attached report, tall sheets, pictorials and map).
In the conduct of the same, the IFMA representatives or laborers that
assisted the team could only show the subject area under evaluation but
the other areas alluded to as accomplished or undertaken by the
company appeared upon actual verification and inspection to be negative
and non-existent thus dispelling their allegation.
