The article is by Harley Palangchao, datelined Baguio City and stamped 28 October 2026, 12:11 am Manila time. It says "The latest operation in Kibungan on Oct. 26", which is the stored date.

Quantities

The article gives "1,200 fully grown marijuana plants and 400 seedlings worth an estimated P256,000". The stored plant count is the 1,200 grown plants, and the 400 seedlings are not added to it. The value is the estimate in the article and is not stored as a quantity.

Source discrepancies

The headline reads "Oplan Grass Cutter" and the text of the article reads "Oplan Ultimate Grass Cutter". The summary uses the form in the text, which matches the name on the earlier news item for the launch of the operation (25 February 2026).

Attribution

The article's first sentence says "The number of marijuana plantations in Benguet is declining, particularly in the towns of Kibungan and Bakun". It gives no figures for this and does not say who made the statement, so it is not repeated in the summary.

The article names the Philippine National Police regional office but cites no release from it.

Place

The article names Sitio Taba-ao in Barangay Poblacion, Kibungan. Another place called Taba-ao lies in Kapangan, Benguet, and is not the one meant.

Map pin

The pin is Wikidata's point for Kibungan municipality (Q30349), rounded to two decimals, and marks the municipality, not the site.
