Whoa! That is some forest that was lost there. I can see the very thick vegetation at the backdrop. This is illegal, right? Do they enforce this in Cagayan? When we were in Palawan, there was one time before sunset that the sea was covered in haze, and the boatmen said that somebody was doing the Kaingin. A day later, we were told that the somebody was arrested for that.
