                    [Summary] => From "hot" logs to mangoes, vegetables and goats.


Former illegal loggers at the 20,760-hectare Doña Remedios Trinidad-Gen. Tinio Protected Watershed Area which straddles Nueva Ecija and Bulacan, will experience this change if a P1.3-million alternative livelihood package for them gets underway.


Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Elisea Gozun said giving the former illegal loggers seed capital for the production of "carabao" mangoes, vegetable-farming and goat-raising is one of the short-term measures being eyed for them.
