                    [Summary] => 

All is set for the "mass invasion" of a vast tract of forestland in the Caraga region by hordes of kaingeros, illegal loggers, log poachers and squatters.


Alfredo Reyes, chairman of the Citizens Log Watch, said that thousands of people are massing up along the fringes of the Picop concession area, ready to enter it at any given time.


He said land speculators have been hiring dump trucks to ferry the illegal entrants to various points of the concession area that Picop would vacate.
