PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Palawan, January 5 (PIA) -- A box containing 26.5 kilos of meat of Philippine pangolin or anteater locally known as “balintong” was confiscated Wednesday by PNP- Aviation Security personnel.
Only a few days ago, boxes of anteater scales and turtle scutes were seized at the same airport in this city.
The two incidents rang alarm bells on alleged rampant illegal trade of protected species in the province.
