Remove the part where it said Deforestation reached a record high during the Duterte administration in 2017 because of wrong citation
editIn the "Biodiversity" portion of this article, it's stated that "Deforestation had reached a record high during the Duterte administration in 2017", with citation 237 entitled, "7M hectares Philippine lands are forested-and that's bad news" by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism on May 12, 2021. I read through that article and the only specific period mentioned was in the portion "Mindoro lost more than 200,000 hectares of forest cover from 2003 to 2015. However, Duterte was elected into office on June 30, 2016. His predecessors, Benigno S. Aquino III (June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2016) and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (January 20, 2001 to June 30, 2010 were in office during the time period mentioned in the citation. The statement is clearly false if the basis is the citation used and should be changed/removed. Chiniwaki (talk) 13:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- This seems to have been removed already. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Area section removed from infobox
editWhatever dispute might exist regarding the size of the country, I think removing it altogether without first discussing on the talk page seems drastic. - Bokmanrocks01 (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- It would be best to notify WP:Tambayan Philippines about this recurring issue. Sanglahi86 (talk) 11:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- All the values I've seen vary around 300,000, it seems fine as a rough approximation and appears to readers as a rough approximation. A lot is likely methodology, given the archipelagic nature of the country. CMD (talk) 11:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Update. The offending editor has been blocked as a sock: See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/RussianFanboy2010. Borgenland (talk) 02:12, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Copra
editThis page says the Philippines is a major 'importer' of copra. Surely this is incorrect, with coconut palms being ubiquitous throughout the country. 112.209.186.83 (talk) 13:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- I am not familiar with the details. The OEC World says the Philippines exports copra, but also says the country is the "1st largest importer of Copra in the world". Sanglahi86 (talk) 09:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
