LUCENA CITY, Quezon, Philippines — With the coming Christmas season, forest rangers have been alerted on a surge in illegal logging activities in the northern Quezon section of the Sierra Madre ranges.

Rexmel Telan, forest technician at the community environment and natural resources office in Real town, said the illegal activities have become a source of easy money for illegal loggers and their protectors.

He also appealed to government to provide forest rangers with firearms for their safety and protection. —Delfin Mallari Jr.
