In House Bill 9410 filed by Barbers, it wants to amend the 20 -year Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act (RA 9147) which experts say is no longer compatible with the current situation of wildlife crimes in the country.

According to Barbers, the annual losses in the market value of wildlife are estimated at P50 Billion as well as damage to their habitat, ecological role and value.

The proposal also aims to intensify the campaign to create and implement a “system of rewards and incentives” for enforcement officers or informants that will provide information against illegal wildlife traders and traffickers that will be funded under the Wildlife Management Fund to be created.

When enacted, a poacher or trader found to have killed a critically endangered wildlife species will face a penalty of 15 to 20 years in prison and a fine of P500,000 to P2 million.

In a press conference after the victory of his team Georgetown against Villanova in the Big East tournament, Ewing said that the MSG security personnel always stopped him.

“I do want to say one thing, though. I thought this was my building, ”said Ewing. “And I feel terrible that I’m getting stopped, accosted, [people] asking for passes.

“Everybody in this building should know who the hell I am, and I’m getting stopped – I can’t move around this building. I was like, ‘What the hell? Is this Madison Square Garden? ‘”

It is not yet clear which of the MSG security personnel the Hall of Famer is referring to.

Knicks owner James Dolan later spoke to Ewing and said they reaffirmed their long-standing relationship.

If you recall the 7-footer Ewing was 11 times named All-Star in his 15 seasons with the Knicks, and twice more led the team to the NBA Finals.
