Quantities
Inquirer, the cited source, describes "a roughly 1,760-square-meter marijuana plantation". This news item gives the area as 0.176 hectares, the same area converted. The report gives the value of the plants as "a standard value of P2,192,000, based on the Dangerous Drugs Board’s valuation", and this news item gives it in the same terms.
Place
Inquirer datelines the report "SAN ILDEFONSO, Ilocos Sur". It places the operation "in an area between Barangay Licungan in Sugpon, Ilocos Sur, and Barangay Tacadang in Kibungan, Benguet" and "along the disputed border of Ilocos Sur and Benguet". This news item gives Ilocos Sur, Sugpon and Licungan as its place fields and names Barangay Tacadang in Kibungan, Benguet in its summary.
Map pin
The report places the site between a barangay in Sugpon and a barangay in Kibungan, Benguet, and gives no coordinates. This news item carries one map pin (16.77, 120.65) for Sugpon, not for the site.
