The Inquirer's article is stamped 17 August 2026. Its lead says the plants were uprooted "over the weekend", while the body says the plantation was discovered "last Friday, Aug. 14" and that "the raiding team, mobilized on Aug. 12, pressed into the interior at dawn on Aug. 13, and completed their operation on the afternoon of Aug. 15". The photo caption gives "Friday, Aug. 14, 2026". The item uses 14 August and names the operation's span in the summary.

Quantities

The article gives "some 2,000 fully grown marijuana plants" and "approximately 2,000" in the caption, so the count is approximate. The value, "P400,000", is the article's figure and is not stored. The earlier raid on 28 February, which destroyed "roughly 1,000 hills of marijuana in the same sitio", is counted in hills, is a separate event and is not added.

Place

The article names Sitio Catablaran, Barangay Canangaan, Cabanglasan, Bukidnon. Its headline says "Bukidnon border", but the plantation is in Cabanglasan near the border with Agusan del Sur.

Map pin

Neither the sitio nor the barangay has a Wikidata entry. The pin is Wikidata's point for the municipality of Cabanglasan (Q356971), rounded to two decimals, as a jurisdiction centre, since the municipality has no seat recorded there. It does not mark the plantation.
