EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Illegal wildlife trade remains one of the primary threats to wildlife resources, nationally and
globally. It has contributed to the decline in the populations of more than 200 species of wild
fauna and about 600 species of wild flora in the country. It does not only compromise the
perpetuation of the species being traded but the ecological roles that such resources play – as
seed dispersers, pollinators and biological control agents, among other functions. Illegal
wildlife trade also brings revenue losses for the government at an annual average of PhP9M.
Wild-caught animals in trade are also known vectors of diseases, thus, posing risk to human
health. Addressing illegal wildlife trade is therefore of primary importance.
Republic Act No. 9147, otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources Conservation and
Protection Act of 2001 (or Wildlife Act), is a big leap for Philippine wildlife enforcement. It
paved the way to deterring wildlife exploitation by imposing penalties for prohibited acts as
defined in Sections 27 and 28 of the said law.
The Wildlife Act, specifically under Sections 30 and 33 thereof, also provides for the
deputation of Wildlife Enforcement Officers (WEOs) and creation of Wildlife Traffic
Monitoring Units (WTMUs) to enforce the provisions of the law. An analysis of the status of
environmental law enforcement in the country, held during the First Environmental Law
Enforcement Summit in 2006, revealed several enforcement constraints. Foremost of these is
the absence of standards and protocol to aid the law enforcers in implementing environmental
laws, including the Wildlife Act.
This Wildlife Law Enforcement Manual of Operations aims to address said missing link
towards effective and efficient enforcement of the Wildlife Act by the WEOs. This Manual
was developed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Protected Areas
and Wildlife Bureau, in partnership with the Development Academy of the Philippines and
the United States Department of Interior, and with valuable assistance of Tanggol Kalikasan
legal experts.
Resulting from a series of consultation workshops with law enforcers and authorities from
various government agencies, non-government organizations and other stakeholders, and
subsequent expert peer reviews, this Manual provides: a set of standards and protocols in the
monitoring of wildlife transport and trade; conduct of surveillance, raid of establishments
illegally possessing, selling and/or displaying wildlife for sale; confiscation of illegally
possessed/traded/displayed wildlife species; prosecution of cases against wildlife law
violators, and related legal concerns. The inputs from the workshop participants also helped
in setting the standard for monitoring, reporting and other documentary forms to facilitate the
prosecution of wildlife-related cases.
The Manual considered the relevant rules, procedures and inputs from various government
agencies which include the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources; Department of Finance-Bureau of Customs; Department of Justice-National
Bureau of Investigation; Department of Interior and Local Government - Philippine National
Police and Local Government Units; Department of National Defense-Armed Forces of the
Philippines; Department of Transportation and Communication - Philippine Coast Guard,
Philippine Ports Authority and Manila International Airport Authority; and the DENR-
Regional Offices, Planning and Policy Office and PAWB. The recently approved “Rules of
Procedure for Environmental Cases” of the Department of Justice was also considered in the
Manual.
The Manual is divided into three books, namely, Book I (State Policy, Relevant Wildlife
Laws and Mandates of Government Agencies), Book II (Protocols on Wildlife Law
Enforcements), and Book III (Wildlife Law Enforcement Manual Forms).
Book I lists down, and provides details on the relevant wildlife policies already being
implemented by the DENR pertinent to wildlife protection. It specifically provides the
groundwork for the existing laws and the state policies from which they were based. State
Policy (Chapter 1), Laws Relevant to Wildlife (Chapter II) and Mandates, Roles and
Functions of Agencies involved in Wildlife Law Enforcement (Chapter III) are laid out in the
succeeding sections of this Book.
There are no hard and fast rules in wildlife law enforcement. Since the Manual seeks to fill in
certain implementation gaps, a set of protocols on wildlife law enforcement are discussed in
detail in Book II. A wealth of discussion on suggested protocols in Investigation and
Surveillance (Chapter I), Arrest and Search (Chapter II), Detention and Seizure (Chapter III),
Seizure and Handling (Chapter V), and Filing and Prosecution of Cases (Chapter VI) are
presented in detail with outlines and procedural diagrams. A separate chapter presented a set
of protocols to address implementation gaps in wildlife law enforcement scenarios in airports
and sea ports (Chapter VII). A separate chapter on the protocols to be observed in the
Custody of Seized and Confiscated Wildlife Specimens, By-products and Derivatives
(Chapter 8) is also enumerated in Book II.
Finally, Book III consists of Wildlife Law Enforcement forms including standard monitoring,
reporting and documentary forms to facilitate the prosecution of wildlife-related cases.
Annexed to the three books are reference materials that would enhance technical and legal
capacities of WEOs. These include the List of Threatened Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(with pictures), Texts of relevant international conventions such as the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), List of
Forms/Common Permits, Additional Rules of Engagement for Warrantless Arrest under Rule
113 of the Rules of Court, Rights of the Accused at the Trial, Checklist of Elements of
Offenses for Wildlife Law Enforcement Officers, Rules of Procedure for Environmental
Cases, Recommended Personal Protective Equipment for Personnel/WEO Handling Wildlife
Species/Specimens, and Directory of Regional Focal Points and WEOs.

2.2. Presidential Decree No. 705 (Revised Forestry Code)
PD No. 705 was approved on May 19, 1975 and was amended several times.
The Code provides that all measures shall be adopted to conserve wildlife. It further
provides that the then Bureau of Forest Development Director shall regulate the hunting of
wildlife in forest lands in order to maintain an ecological balance of flora and fauna. Executive
Order No. 192 [1987] created the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau [PAWB] which absorbed
the Division of Parks and Wildlife and Marine Parks Program of the then Bureau of Forest
Development [now Forest Management Bureau].
Destruction of wildlife resources is penalized very lightly under the Forestry Code with a
fine in the amount of not less than Php100.00 for each violation and an additional penalty of
denial of a permit for a period of three (3) years from the date of the violation.
It should be noted that the Revised Forestry Code’s coverage of wildlife resources is
limited to wild fauna.
The enactment of Republic Act No. 9147 prohibits and penalizes specific acts related to
killing and destruction of wildlife which covers wild forms and varieties of flora and fauna. The
penalties provided therein are also higher than that provided in the Forestry Code. [amended by
P.D. No. 865, P.D. No. 1559, B.P. Blg. 83, P.D. 1775, E.O. No. 277 s. 1987 ; some sections
renumbered by R.A. No. 7161]
7
2.3. Republic Act No. 7586 (National Integrated Protected Areas System Act)
Republic Act No. 7586 was approved on June 1, 1992. The Act established the National
Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) which shall encompass outstandingly remarkable
areas and biologically important public lands that are habitats of rare and endangered species of
plants and animals, biogeographic zones and related ecosystems, whether terrestrial, wetland or
marine which are designated as “protected areas.”
2.3.1. Prohibited Acts
The following are prohibited within protected areas, except as may be allowed by the
nature of their categories and pursuant to rules and regulations governing the same:

BOOK 2
Protocols on Wildlife Law Enforcement
Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. Importance. The unabated trafficking of wildlife in the country has resulted in great loss to
the Philippines. Hence, the Republic Act No. 9147, otherwise known as the Wildlife Resources
Conservation and Protection Act of 2001, was passed in order to conserve the country’s wildlife
resources and their habitats for sustainability.
1.2. Purpose. This shall serve as an implementation guide that contains the standards and
protocol for the enforcement of wildlife laws, particularly in conducting surveillance, arrest,
search, seizure and detention and preservation and handling of evidence, with the end view of
minimizing possible errors and administrative lapses in the enforcement and prosecution of
wildlife laws.
1.3. Scope. This protocol consists primarily of standard operating procedures (SOP’s) with
excerpts of pertinent wildlife laws, rules and regulations on law enforcement, particularly the
Constitution, the Rules of Court, and jurisprudence. It also contains definitions of important
words and phrases, appendices of the necessary forms for the SOP’s and text of pertinent laws
cited thereto.
1.4. Usage. The users of this protocol are the wildlife enforcement officers as discussed in
Section 3.1.4.1 of this manual.
Chapter 2 . Protocol on Investigation and Surveillance

There is no hard and fast rule on the exact method of conducting surveillance and investigation.
It is both a science and an art.
2.1. Investigation
2.1.1. Definition
Investigation is a general term, which encompasses all modes and styles of getting
intended information regarding persons, place, things or events for purposes of
regulatory, administrative or criminal prosecution. In conducting investigation, the
focus must be on matters that are relevant to the issue and competent under the law. In
gathering information, the investigator must always bear in mind that the information
may eventually be used as evidence against the violator. He must be aware of the basic
rules of evidence. (Revised Rules on Evidence, Rule 128, Section 3) and the Bill of
Rights under the Constitution.
31
Bill of Rights (as simplified) under the 1987 Constitution
- Right to due process of law (Section 1)

- Right against unreasonable search and seizure (Section 2)
- Privacy of communication and correspondence and inadmissibility of
evidence obtained (Section 3)
- Right to travel (Section 6)
- Rights of the accused under custodial investigation (Section 12)
- Right to post bail (Section 13)
- Right to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise (Section 14)
- Privilege of the writ of habeas corpus (Section 15)
- Right against self-incrimination (Section 17)
2.1.2. Procedure for Investigation
2.1.2.1. Lay the basis for investigation. Any of the following can be the basis for
investigation and surveillance:
• Complaint in any form

• Request in any form from officials of government agencies concerned
• Intelligence information from informants and other concerned agencies
• Reports and/or information from concerned individual(s) or group(s)
2.1.2.2. Determine the veracity of the initial information by checking it with other
sources of information such as the Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB),
DENR field offices including ARMM, PCSDS, BFAR, informants, individuals, other
law enforcement officers and/or offices. Said offices, as the case may be, shall provide
master list of duly issued permits/licenses to all law enforcement agencies and wildlife
enforcement officers.
(Note: For on the spot discovery of offenses, follow the protocol for
WARRANTLESS ARREST under Book II, Chapter 3, Section 3.4 and Book II,
Chapter 7)
2.1.2.3. Send a REQUEST for CERTIFICATION of EXISTENCE OF PERMITS

(Form No. 1) to the PAWB/ DENR field offices including ARMM/PCSD/BFAR to
determine whether certain persons or entities possess the required government licenses
to trade or possess wildlife. Any request for certification shall be complied with by the
concerned office within a period of three (3) working days.
2.1.2.4. Evaluate if there is enough information which would lead an ordinary prudent
man to believe that an illegal activity has been committed, is being committed or about
to be committed.
2.1.2.5. If the answer is yes, undertake complete and detailed investigation. Otherwise,
the WEO shall immediately conclude the initial intelligence gathering phase.
32
2.1.2.6. Develop an operational plan before going through the investigation phase and
decide how the investigation will be conducted, after estimating the manpower, money
and equipment that will be available.
2.1.2.7. Accomplish the SUMMARY OF INFORMATION SHEET (Form No. 14)

three [3] copies and secure proper authorization from the Head of Office or
organization, as the case may be, to undertake complete and detailed investigation.
2.1.2.8. To ensure that the investigation shall be in accord with law, the WEO may
consult government prosecutor or designated DOJ prosecutor for technical advice.
2.1.2.9. Conduct the investigation proper.
• Document the entire process by photographs, videos, tape recorders, or any

recording device which is admissible in evidence.
• Coordinate with appropriate government law enforcement agencies and

consult with the prosecutors for necessary support or back-up.
• Form an investigation team whenever necessary.
• Prioritize investigation and assign WEO for each important piece of

information, if practicable.
• Examine and verify the documents and papers and other information with
other agencies (paper trail).
• Conduct personal interview or interrogation. In addition to other sources of

information, valuable information can be sourced from the suspect
himself/herself. Thus, engaging the suspect into communication exchange
may prove very useful.
• Gather, label and preserve the initial evidence in accordance with law.
• Identify potential witnesses
• Ensure that basic information are present: (record check, personal profile and
circumstances of the subject, pattern, other persons/institutions involved)
2.1.2.10. Prepare the INVESTIGATION REPORT (See Form No. 2 of Book 3 of this
Manual)

2.2. Surveillance
2.2.1. Definition
Surveillance is a form of investigation by keeping a person, place, or other target

under observation for the purpose of obtaining evidence or information, without being
detected or noticed.
While there are no exact methods of conducting surveillance, there are some
techniques that investigators have been using for a long time which they have found
to be effective if properly used in an appropriate setting.
All surveillance has the same common objective of observing or listening to

suspected individuals without them knowing that they are being watched or
eavesdropped. It is done with the end view of locating people, places or things and
detecting patterns of movement, habits, associates with whom the subject deals with.
It is a means to provide protection and assistance for officers working undercover, as
well as to provide the critical input needed in developing an effective operation plan
for apprehending the suspects and their cohorts.
2.2.2 Classification of Surveillance
2.2.2.1. Passive Surveillance occurs when data are routinely collected and forwarded
to more central levels on a routine basis. Examples are licensing and permitting.
2.2.2.2. Active Surveillance occurs when data are sought out by visiting the sites, or
in some cases, by participation in wildlife trade. This is by far the most exciting and
dangerous of the types of surveillance.
2.2.2.2.1. Active Surveillance Techniques
• Stationary. Similar to sentinel surveillance except that this can happen

anywhere—in public area or in an inhabited place—where the WEO
can hide while he conducts his observation.
• Walking. Works well in public places or crowded area. However, this

requires two or more WEOs.
• Driving. Works well in cities or urban areas where there is always

heavy traffic, but not in rural areas where vehicle is easily noticeable.
• Boat. Effective in observing buildings located along the coastline or

river banks.
• Aerial. Effective but nonetheless very expensive. May be used in

tracking suspect and on-field observation of wildlife.
35
• Undercover. By far the most difficult and dangerous but nonetheless a
very effective surveillance method in many circumstances.
2.2.2.3. Comprehensive Surveillance occurs when data are collected from as many
sites as possible throughout the country to determine the magnitude of both legal and
illegal wildlife trade activities. Examples are comprehensive research for monitoring
and control purposes.
2.2.2.4. Sentinel Surveillance refers to regulatory monitoring through established

checkpoints, other stationary observation posts, and through Wildlife Traffic
Monitoring Units (WTMU) posted at different air and seaports all over the country.
2.2.2.5. Community-based Surveillance is performed by vigilant and concerned

private citizens in identifying potential violations of the wildlife law. This method is
very effective in rural areas.
2.2.2.6. Facility-based Surveillance refers to the monitoring of activities inside a

building or premises through the use of surveillance gadgets and equipments.
2.2.2.7. Laboratory-based Surveillance is the conduct of regular or random sampling

to identify possible health or environmental risks brought about by trade or
introduction of fauna and flora. The laboratories mentioned here refer to Wildlife
Rescue Center and the National Wildlife Research Center.
2.2.3 Procedure for Surveillance in General
• Make a comprehensive and flexible surveillance plan before going into any
surveillance activity.
• Prepare the gadgets and equipment and other materials to be used in surveillance
such as the profile of the target area.
• Prepare the team and back-up.
• Proceed to observation post, area or vicinity, or “plant” the undercover WEO and
start the surveillance.
• Conduct test-buy, when appropriate. Observe the rules on the Chain of Custody in
turning over the “fruits of the crime” for purposes of evidence or further analysis.
• If possible, photograph everything.
• Use video also. Video records are admissible in courts.
36
Rules on tape recordings, wire, and Dictaphone. To be admissible, the following
requisites must be present, subject to the limitation of RA 4200 or the Anti-Wire
Tapping Law and the Constitution:
• That the tape, wire, or Dictaphone device is capable of taking testimony.

• That the person operating the device is competent to operate it.
• That the recording is authentic and correct.
• That the recording has been duly preserved.
• That the testimony was voluntarily made.
• That the speaker has been correctly identified.
Conclude the surveillance and retreat from the area without being noticed.
Make a journal of everything that happened.
Submit SUMMARY OF INFORMATION SHEET (Form # 14) together with the

supporting documents and evidence.
2.2.4. Procedure for Pre-Raid Surveillance. To ensure the safety of the raiding team, if a
decision to raid is reached, the following are needed to be done:
• Determine the possible exits by the subject(s)

• Determine the strategic place for positioning of the raiding team members
• Plan the proper manner of approach
• Identify the number of persons in the vicinity of the target
• Photograph the premises and vicinity of the area to be raided to be used as guide of
the raiding team
• Determine the most desirable or proper time to conduct the raid
• Determine the weapon and arms of the subject, if there is any
• Determine the available means of transportation for escape
• Determine if there are look-outs
• Determine the people in the neighborhood who are sympathetic to the subject
• Submit Summary of Information Sheet.

TIPS ON ARREST
• ARREST ON THE STREET:
1. Should be made from side or rear when possible.
2. Assume subject is armed and will take your life if given the opportunity.
• ARREST AT HOME, OFFICE OR BUSINESS:
1. Restrict subject's movement. Do not grant request for personal privileges before
being searched.
2. Clothing and other things requested should be examined for weapons or items of
evidence before turning over the subject.
3. Don’t grant subject(s) request to attend to something before, during and

immediately after the search.
4. Search by one officer. Have gun drawn with hand farther away from subject.
HOW TO CONDUCT BODILY SEARCH OF ARRESTED PERSON:
• “Probe-don't pat”. (A woman Agent should be used to search female persons.)
• Dangerous and violent criminals must be handcuffed. Escapees from prisons and escape
artists should likewise be handcuffed.
• Don’t stop the search when weapon is found. Be aware of items for committing suicide
and for evidence.
• Searchers should never cross the line of fire.
• Don’t talk to subject(s) in the course of the search.
• Don’t grant subject(s) request to attend to something before, during and immediately after
the search.
3.2. Search
48
3.2 Search
3.2.1. Definition
Search is an examination of a man’s house or other buildings or premises, or of his

person, or of his vehicle, aircraft, etc. with a view to the discovery of contraband or
illicit or stolen property, or some evidence of guilt to be used in the prosecution of
a criminal action for some crime or offense with which he or she is charged.3
3.2.2. General Rule on Search
As provided in Article III, Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution (please see section on
Arrest), no search can be done without a lawful search warrant.
3.2.3. Exceptions to general rule (lawful warrantless search)
3.2.3.1. Warrantless search incidental to lawful arrest recognized under Section 12,
Rule 126 of the Rules of Court—“Search incident to lawful arrest.—A person
lawfully arrested may be searched for dangerous weapons or anything which may
be used as proof of the commission of an offense, without a search warrant.”
3.2.3.2. Seizure of evidence in “plain view”, the elements of which are:
• A prior valid intrusion based on the valid warrantless arrest in which the
police are legally present in the pursuit of their official duties;
• The evidence was inadvertently discovered by the police who had the
right to be where they are;
• The evidence must be immediately apparent; and,
• “Plain view” justified mere seizure of evidence without further search.4

3.2.3.3. Search of a moving vehicle.
Persons duly commissioned to enforce tariff and customs laws have the
authority to stop and search moving vehicles and seize goods suspected to
have been introduced in the country in violation of the customs laws. 5
3.2.3.4. Consented warrantless search.
In case of consented searches without warrant or waiver of the

constitutional guarantee against obstrusive searches, it is fundamental that
to constitute a waiver, it must first appear that (1) the right exists; (2) that
the person involved had knowledge, either actual or constructive, of the
existence of such right; and (3) the said person had an actual intention to
relinquish the right. 6
3.2.3.5. Customs search.
The Supreme Court cited pertinent provisions of the Tariff and Customs
Code on searches, seizures and arrests, which may be made even without
warrants, for purposes of enforcing customs and tariff laws. Without
mention of the need to priorly obtain a judicial warrant, the Code
specifically allows police authorities to “enter, pass through or search any
land, enclosure, warehouse, store or building, not being a dwelling house;
and also to inspect, search and examine any vessel or aircraft and any
trunk, package, box or envelope or any person on board[;]or stop and
search and examine any vehicle, beast or person suspected of holding or
conveying any dutiable or prohibited article introduced into the
Philippines contrary to law.”7

People vs. CFI of Rizal, G.R. No. L-41686, November 17, 1980, 101 SCRA 86. The Supreme Court said “This
Court had occasion to recognize this power granted to persons having police authority under Section 2203 of the
(Customs) Code, who in order to discharge their official duties more effectively-
‘xxx may at any time enter, pass through, or search any land or enclosure of any warehouse, store or other
building not being a dwelling house.’ (Section 2208, italics supplied)
‘xxx (to) go aboard any vessel or aircraft within the limits of any collection district, and to inspect, search
and examine said vessel or aircraft and any trunk, package, box or envelope on board, and search any
person or board the said vessel or aircraft and to this end to hail and stop such vessel or aircraft if under
way, to use all necessary force to compel compliance; and if it shall appear that any brach or violation of
the customs and tariff laws of the Philippines has been committed, whereby or in consequence of which
such vessels or aircrafts, or the article, or any part thereof, on board of or imported by such vessel or
aircrafts, is liable to forfeiture to make seizure of the same or any part thereof.’
‘The power of search herein above given shall extend to the removal of any false bottom, partition,
bulkhead or other obstruction, so far as may be necessary to enable the officer to discover whether any
dutiable or forfeitable articles may be concealed. (Section 2210)’

3.2.3.6. Stop and frisk.
The “stop and frisk” concept is of American origin, the most notable case
thereon being Terry v. Ohio. (392 US 1; 88 S Ct. 1868; 20 L ed. 2d 889
(1968). The idea is that a police officer may after properly introducing
himself and making initial inquiries, approach and restrain a person
manifesting unusual and suspicious conduct, in order to check, the latter’s
outer clothing for possibly concealed weapons. The strict manner in
which this notion should be applied has been laid down as follows:
“xxx where a police officer observes unusual conduct which leads him
reasonably to conclude in the light of his experience that criminal activity
may be afoot and that the persons with whom he is dealing may be armed
and presently dangerous, where in the course of investigating this
behavior, he identifies himself as a policeman and makes reasonable
inquiries, and where nothing in the initial stages of the encounter serves to
dispel his reasonable fear for his own and others’ safety, he is entitled for
the protection of himself and others in the area to conduct a carefully
limited search of the outer clothing of such persons in an attempt to
discover weapons which might be used to assault him.”8
As in the warrantless arrest of a person reasonably suspected of having

just committed a crime, mere suspicious behavior would not call for a
“stop and frisk.” There must be a genuine reason, in accordance with the
police officer’s experience and the surrounding conditions, to warrant the
belief that the person to be held has weapons (or contraband) concealed
about him.9
3.2.3.7. Exigent and emergency circumstances10
Those circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to believe

that entry (or other relevant prompt action) was necessary to prevent
physical harm to the officers or other persons, the destruction of
relevant evidence, the escape of a suspect, or some other consequence
improperly frustrating legitimate law enforcement efforts.11
A search is reasonable, and a search warrant is not required, if all of

the circumstances known to the officer at the time, would cause a
reasonable person to believe that entry or search was necessary to
prevent physical harm to the officer or other persons/the destruction

or concealment of evidence/the escape of a suspect, and if there was
insufficient time to get a search warrant.12
3.2.4. Search warrant defined.—Rule 126 of the Rules of Court defines search warrant
as an order in writing issued in the name of the People of the Philippines, signed by a
judge and directed to a peace officer, commanding him to search for personal property
described therein and bring it before the court.
3.2.5. Where to apply for search warrant. An application for search warrant shall be
filed with any court within whose territorial jurisdiction a crime was committed. For
compelling reasons stated in the application, the application may be made to any court
within the judicial region where the crime was committed if the place of the commission
of the crime is known, or to any court within the judicial region where the warrant shall
be enforced. However, if the criminal action has already been filed, the application shall
only be made in the court where the criminal act.ion is pending.
3.2.6. Who applies for a search warrant. Any law enforcer or wildlife enforcement
officer authorized to enforce RA 9147 may apply for a warrant. Such warrant shall be
issued upon probable cause in connection with one specific offense to be determined
personally by the judge after examination under oath or affirmation of the complainant
and the witnesses he may produce, and particularly describing the place to be searched
and the things to be seized.
3.2.7 Personal property to be seized. The following personal property may be seized:

Chapter 4. Protocols on Detention
Detention is the taking of a person into custody after the arrest or surrender.
4.1. The investigatory stop.—Not every encounter between a police officer and citizen
constitutes a seizure of the person, but if an officer forcibly restrains, or threatens to restrain a
citizen, a seizure occurs. A police questioning may not constitute a seizure until a more coercive
atmosphere ensues.
4.2. The investigatory detention.—A person may be seized or apprehended for investigation of
an offense of which he is suspected. In this case, his rights under custodial investigation are now
protected by the Constitution.
4.3. Reglementary period of detention.—A complaint against an apprehended person must be

filed within the following period:
4.3.1.12 hours from the time of arrest for offenses punishable by imprisonment of 1 day
to 30 days, irrespective of fine;
4.3.2. 18 hours from the time of arrest for offenses punishable by imprisonment of 1
month and 1 day to 6 years, irrespective of fine;
4.3.3. 36 hours from the time of arrest for offenses punishable by imprisonment of 6
years and 1 day to reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment.
4.4. Violations relative to detention under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines:
4.4.1. Arbitrary Detention under Art. 124 if the period exceeded the allowed time within
which to submit the complaint for arrest made without warrant.
4.4.2. Illegal Detention under Art. 269 in cases when detention is done without proper
authority or when the arrest is made without basis.
4.5. Right to Bail in accordance with Rule 114 of the Revised Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Chapter 5. Protocol on Apprehension, Seizure and Handling

Apprehension may refer to persons or property. There is an apprehension of a person if the
surrounding circumstances indicate to a reasonable person that said person was not free to leave.
An apprehension of property occurs when, having determined the existence of probable cause to
do so, items that are fruits of a crime or machinery, equipment, tools, implements or
conveyances used to commit the crime, are found or intercepted and the temporary possession
and control over the same is taken or exercised by those authorized to make apprehensions.14
14
Section 1(a) of DENR Administrative Order No. 32-97 dated October 10, 1997.
60
Seizure. Upon determination that an apprehension is supported by a prima facie case against the
offender/s, seizure is the official act of taking into government custody by authorized persons of
items that are fruits of a crime or machinery, equipment, tools, implements or conveyances used
to commit the crime, pending formal administrative proceedings for the disposition thereof.15
5.1. Verification of Documents

Tips for Evidence Photography

• Record the Seized Evidence Tag or other identifying material listing the date
and other case identifiers.
• If possible, shoot all photographs judged important to the case twice. Taking
two exposures will help ensure useable photographs.
• Photographs should be marked on the back with the date of the photographs,
name of the photographer, developing/printing date, camera serial number,
case number, and other identifying data.
5.2.2. Audio, photographic and video evidence of events, acts or transactions are admissible
in court provided that it is presented or displayed to the court and identified, explained or
authenticated by the person who made the recording or by some other person competent to
testify on the accuracy thereof.
5.3. Inventory, Identification and Labeling
Inventory as the term is used in this section refers to the inventory of the evidence in
connection with the commission of an offense. The inventory shall include items used in the
commission of the crime (i.e. conveyance or vehicles), the fruits of the commission of the
63
crime (i.e. wildlife species/specimens, by-products and derivatives), weapons or firearms, or
other items that may be used as evidence to prove the commission of the offense.
5.3.1. Before making the inventory, identification and labeling of the wildlife
species/specimens, by-products and derivatives, it is recommended that the person/s who

Chapter 6 FILING and PROSECUTION of CASES
Ensuring that a criminal case for violation of the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection
Act is initiated and that a successful prosecution is done to the end strengthens the campaign to
protect and sustainably manage the country’s wildlife resources. It is therefore valuable, as
important part of law enforcement, to determine how criminal cases for violation of the Wildlife
Resources Conservation and Protection Act are initiated and prosecuted in courts and what the
roles are of environmental law enforcers in each stage of the process.
Generally, criminal cases are initiated by the filing of the complaint with the office of the
prosecutor or information with the courts. However, where to file the case depends on the
circumstances of each case. At this juncture, it is important to refer to Section 3.1.2 of Book 2 of
this Manual which discusses the kinds of arrest. The first two items under the said section-
warrantless arrest and arrest with warrant- provide the two common scenarios that lead to the
filing of the case.
6.1. POSSIBLE SCENARIOS UNDER WARRANTLESS ARREST
6.1.1. In the presence of the law enforcer, violator has committed, is actually committing, or
is attempting to commit any of the following acts prohibited by the Wildlife
Resources Conservation and Protection Act:
:
• killing and destroying wildlife species and the act does not fall under the
exceptions
• inflicting injury which cripples and/or impairs the reproductive system of wildlife
species
• dumping, in critical habitats, of waste products detrimental to wildlife
• squatting or occupying any portion of the critical habitat
• mineral exploration and/or extraction in critical habitat
• burning in critical habitat
• logging in critical habitat
• quarrying in critical habitat
• introduction of wildlife resources without the necessary permit
• reintroduction of wildlife resources without the necessary permit
• restocking of wildlife resources without the necessary permit
• trading of wildlife without the necessary permit
• collecting wildlife, their by-products and derivatives without the necessary permit
• hunting wildlife without the necessary permit
• possessing wildlife, their by-products and derivatives without the necessary
permit
• gathering or destroying active nests, nest trees, host plants and the like without the
necessary permit
• maltreating and/or inflicting other injuries not covered by preceding paragraph
• transporting of wildlife without the necessary permit
69
6.1.2. Violator has just committed any of the acts enumerated above and enforcer has
probable cause to believe based on his personal knowledge of facts or circumstances
that person to be arrested has committed it.
6.1.3. Because of a valid search, person to be arrested is found in the act of:
• trading wildlife without the necessary permit

• possessing wildlife, their by-products and derivatives without the necessary
permit
• transporting wildlife without the necessary permit
6.2. PROCEDURE IN FILING AND PROSECUTING THE CASE UNDER THE

SCENARIOS IN 6.1.
6.2.1. Filing of Complaint and Inquest
6.2.1.1 The complaint (see form # 12 of Book 3 of this Manual) may be filed by
the following: authorized officer of DENR/DA-BFAR/PCSDS; deputized or
designated WEOs; any peace officer or other public officer charged with
enforcement of the law
6.2.1.2. The apprehending officer /DENR/ DA-BFAR/PCSDS must, as soon as

possible, secure or produce the appropriate certifications or affidavits needed to
prove the offense committed. The following are some of the relevant certifications
in matrix form:

Chapter 7. Procedure for Administrative Seizure and Confiscation
7.1. Administrative Seizure – Upon delivery of the apprehended items to the Seizure Officers,
the latter shall forthwith verify the existence of a prima facie case against the offender by
examining all the documents submitted to him by the apprehending officer.
7.1.1. The following are the Seizure Officers:
7.1.1. The DENR Regional Executive Director (RED) or, in his absence, any
DENR Regional Technical Director actually assigned to the area of apprehension
at the time thereof;
7.1.2. The Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (PENRO) or, in
his absence, any Senior Forest Management Specialist (SFMS) or Senior
Environment Management Specialist (SEMS) actually assigned to the area of
apprehension at the time thereof;
7.1.3. The Community Environment and Natural Resources Officer (CENRO) or,
in his absence, any DENR Officer with the rank of Forester III or Land
Management Officer III (LMO III) actually assigned to the area of apprehension at
the time thereof; and
7.1.4. The Secretary may, from time to time, designate in writing, such other
Officers for the purpose.
7.1.2. The Seizure Officer shall confirm that the item(s) delivered to him strictly coincide
with the itemized list thereof reflected in the documents of apprehension. If such
confirmation cannot be completed within the same day, this shall be explained to those
concerned on-site and reflected in the Seizure Receipt which, in such cases, shall state the
date and time this procedure commenced. In such cases the Seizure Receipt shall be
prominently marked with the word PROVISIONAL. The Provisional Seizure Receipt
shall also state the date, time and place where the uncompleted documentation activity
will resume. This procedure shall be followed each day that the documentation activity
remains incomplete until final completion thereof. In case of variance between the items
so delivered and those reflected in the documents of apprehension, he shall require a
sworn statement from the apprehending officer with a complete, clear and concise
explanation for said variation , which shall form an integral part of the permanent records
of the case.
7.1.2. In verifying the existence of a prima facie case against the offender, the appropriate
DENR Officer shall personally examine the apprehending officer and any witnesses
appearing before him in order to satisfy himself that an offense has been committed, that
the evidence at hand indicates the offender is probably guilty thereof, and the items
delivered to him are the proceeds of the violation. Should a prima facie case against the
offender be thus found, the Seizure Officer shall immediately declare this fact by issuing
a SEIZURE ORDER for the apprehended item(s).
80
7.1.3. In case the apprehended conveyance involved is a government vehicle, the
procedure above shall be followed and the vehicle shall be immediately released to the
highest regional office who owned the same, upon acknowledging that the said
conveyance has been used in violation of existing forestry laws, rules and regulations.
7.2. Administrative Confiscation.
7.2.1. NOTICE OF HEARING- A Notice of Hearing shall be issued by the DENR

Officer who issued the SEIZURE ORDER scheduling a formal, summary hearing at a
specified place and date within one (1) calendar week from the date of the SEIZURE
ORDER or, upon written request and signature of all interested parties, within two (2)
calendar weeks from said date. In no case shall the hearing so scheduled be postponed
without the written request of the offender(s) and/or the owner or other persons(s)
interested in the seized item(s).
7.2.2. HEARING – The DENR Officer who issued the SEIZURE ORDER shall preside
as the Hearing Officer at Confiscation hearings, which shall be recorded and of summary

counsel of choice. Ample opportunity to obtain the services of counsel shall, in all cases,
be provided.
A complete set of the documents supporting the apprehension and seizure as hereinabove
outlined shall be provided to the interested parties at their expense, and who shall be
afforded the opportunity to present controverting evidence.
Although not strictly bound by the technical rules on evidence and procedures, applicable
Rules of Court shall have suppletory application in these proceedings to ensure justice
and equity at all times. In lieu of adducing testimonial evidence, any Party may elect to
submit a Memorandum, attaching Affidavits and any other supporting documents thereto,
with a request that the issues be decided on the basis thereof.
7.2.3. DISPUTABLE PRESUMPTIONS- In administrative proceedings conducted

pursuant hereto, the following shall be considered presumptions of fact and/or law and
taken as part of the evidence unless specifically controverted and successfully overcome
by a preponderance of evidence.

the offense(s) cited had full knowledge of and willingly participated therein;
(b) The registered owner and/or operator/driver of a conveyance used in the commission
of the offense had full knowledge and willingly participated therein by providing the
conveyance for the illegal purpose to which said conveyance was applied. In case the
registered owner of the conveyance is a partnership or corporation, the partners and/or
officers thereof had full knowledge of and granted authorization or issued instructions for
the use or application of the conveyance in the commission of the offense.
81
(c) Any forest products included within Section 2(a) hereof were obtained from an illegal
source.
7.2.4. DECISION – The Decision shall be rendered by the RED upon recommendation of
Hearing Officer. Substantial evidence shall suffice to sustain an administrative Decision
adverse to interested Party(ies), failing which, a ruling shall be issued dismissing the
case, and the controversy deemed closed and ordering that the seized item(s) be returned
forthwith. When the evidence so warrants, a ruling shall be issued declaring the seized
items to be confiscated in favor of the Government, together with recommendations for
further prosecution, if any.
In the absence of compelling reasons, which shall in all cases be stated on the record,
confiscation proceedings shall be terminated within fifteen (15) regular business days
from commencement thereof. A transcript of stenographic notes or minutes taken at these
proceedings shall form part of the permanent records of the case together with the
Decision issued thereon citing the evidence adduced and reasons supporting the ruling.
The Decision shall become final and executory upon the lapse of fifteen (15) regular
business days unless a Motion for Reconsideration is filed as provided below.

International Conventions
ANNEX 3
International Conventions
3.1. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES)
CITES is an
international agreement
that aims to ensure that
international trade in
specimens of wild
animals and plants does
not threaten their
survival. Many wildlife
species in trade are not
endangered. The
agreement ensures that
the sustainability of the
trade is addressed in
order to safeguard these
resources for the future.
CITES is legally
binding on the Parties,
in other words they
have to implement the
Convention, but it does
not take the place of
national laws. Rather it
provides a framework
to be respected by each
Party, which has to
adopt its own domestic
legislation to ensure
that CITES is implemented at the national level.
Each Party is required to submit an annual report (or a coordinated annual report by Parties
with multiple Management Authorities) on its CITES trade every 31 October following a
standard format, and a biennial report on legislative, regulatory and administrative measures
taken to enforce the Convention.
The CITES Trust Fund finances the Secretariat, the CoP and its subsidiary bodies. It is
replenished from contributions from the Parties based on the United Nations scale of assessment,
adjusted to take account of the fact that not all members of the United Nations are Parties to the
Convention.
3.2. Convention on Biological Diversity
The CBD is an international agreement

whose main objectives are the: (1)
conservation of biological diversity; (2)
sustainable use of its components; and, (3)
fair and equitable sharing of benefits
derived from the utilization of genetic
resources, including appropriate access to
genetic resources and appropriate transfer
of relevant technologies, taking into
account all rights over resources and
technologies, and appropriate funding
(Article 1, CBD Text).
The CBD was opened for signature at
the historical Earth Summit or the United
Nations Conference on Environment and
Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro
in 1992. The Philippines signed on 12 June
1992 and ratified on 08 October 1993.
The CBD is legally binding on the
Parties, in other words they have to
implement the Convention, but it does not
take the place of national laws. Rather it
provides a framework to be respected by
each Party, which has to adopt its own
domestic legislation to ensure that the
CBD is implemented at the national level.
Philippine Institutional Arrangements
3.3. Convention on Migratory Species
The CMS or Bonn Convention is an intergovernmental treaty that aims to conserve terrestrial, marine
and avian migratory species and their habitats throughout their range. Migratory species threatened with
extinction are listed on Appendix I while those that need or would benefit from international cooperation
are listed in Appendix II of the Convention.
The CMS promotes concerted action among the Range States of many of these species. For this
reason, the Convention encourages the Range States to conclude global or regional Agreements.
The CMS is legally binding on the Parties, in other words Parties have to implement the Convention,
but it does not take the place of national laws. Rather it provides a framework to be respected by each
Party, which has to adopt its own domestic legislation to ensure that the Convention is implemented at the
national level. Parties may also enter into a legally binding treaty called Agreement or a less formal
instrument, such as Memoranda of Understanding, which can be adapted to the requirements of particular
regions.
Several CMS Agreements have been concluded, namely:
• Populations of European Bats

• Cetaceans of the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area
• Small Cetaceans of the Baltic and North Seas
• Seals in the Wadden Sea
• African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds
• Albatrosses and Petrels
In addition, several CMS Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) have been concluded, namely:
• the Siberian Crane
• the Slender-billed Curlew
• Marine Turtles of the Atlantic Coast of Africa
• Marine Turtles of the Indian Ocean and South-East Asia
• Middle-European Population of the Great Bustard
• the Bukhara Deer
• the Aquatic Warbler
The Philippine Senate ratified this on March 30, 1993 by virtue of Senate Resolution No. 28. It
became effective on February 1, 1994.

3.4. Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar)
The Convention on Wetlands or Ramsar Convention is an intergovernmental treaty officially named

the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat. Its original
emphasis was on the conservation and wise use of wetlands primarily to provide habitat for waterbirds.
Over the years, its mission developed to cover “the conservation and wise use of all wetlands through
local, regional and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving
sustainable development throughout the world" (Ramsar OP8,2002). Today, it is more appropriately
referred to as the Convention on Wetlands.
The Convention maintains a List of Wetlands of International Importance. Parties can join the
Convention only if they undertake to designate at least one site for inclusion in the List. Wetlands
included in the List acquire a new status at the national level and are recognized internationally as
significant for the conservation of global biological diversity and for sustaining human life through the
ecological and hydrological functions they perform.
The Convention on Wetlands is not part of the UN or UNEP system of environmental treaties.
Nevertheless, it is legally binding on the Parties. In other words, Parties have to implement the
Convention, but it does not take the place of national laws. Rather it provides the framework for national
action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
Article 2.4 of the Convention further stipulates, “the inclusion of a wetland in the List does not prejudice
the exclusive sovereign rights of the Contracting Party in whose territory the wetland is situated".
The Philippines acceded to the Convention on 30 March 1994.
