Mayor Evelyn Diaz said she wants a total ban on illegal logging in the city to preserve the remaining forest resources.
Diaz has sought the help of village officials in the city to guard their own areas and report to the city government any illegal logging activities to punish the parties involved.
She has also coordinated with the police and environment and natural resources officials of Isabela to apprehend and catch the people involved in illegal logging.
