THE US government provided specialized training to the Philippine Department of Justice (DoJ) prosecutors to 'enhance their expertise in handling environmental crimes.'

According to the US Embassy in Manila, the training, which was facilitated by experts from the United States Agency for International Development (USAid), was held in Pampanga and Bataan from Oct. 15 to 18. It was part of the US agency's Sustainable Interventions for Biodiversity, Oceans and Landscapes (Sibol) project.
