14. From 1981 to 2001, there were nine (9) environment-related cases filed in the Municipal Circuit Trial Court of Mabini-Tingloy. Among the 9, three (3) of these were cases for violation of Section 33 of PD 704 (2 were dismissed for lack of evidence and 1 case was archived), one (1) case was filed for violation of FAO 163, s. 1986 (accused was found guilty of muro-ami), four (4) cases for violation of Section 6, Municipal Ordinance 03-2000 (22 accused in one case voluntarily entered plea of guilty for commercial fishing and sentenced to fine of P1,000 each while 3 cases are still on-going), and one (1) case for violation of Municipal Ordinance No. 08-90, s. 1990 (criminal complaint was filed against accused for spearfishing using SCUBA). Interestingly, there were no cases filed for violation of the controversial Ordinance (11-91, as amended).
15. Court records show that from 1981 to 2001, three (3) criminal cases were filed relating to Section 68 of PD 705 penalizing any person who cuts, gathers, collects, or removes timber or other forest products without license. In one case, accused was found guilty and penalized with 1 year imprisonment and fine of P13,000 with subsidiary imprisonment. One case was dismissed while in another case, the accused pleaded guilty to a lesser offense of unjust vexation and fined for only P20.00.
