Endangered helmet shells, also known as "Budyong" from Jolo, Sulu, and illegally cut logs aboard a motor launch in Palawan were confiscated by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) in separate maritime operations. PCG personnel found 711 pieces of Budyong concealed in 30 sacks on board roll-on, roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessel, MV Kristel Jane 3, in Zamboanga when it underwent inspection. Lieutenant Junior-Grade Jomark Angue, station commander of PCG Zamboanga, said the helmet shells weighing 50 kilograms were found at the cargo deck of the vessel.
