1. Forest Ranger Jay Velasco was patrolling the Balara Watershed and Reservoir when he noticed a big pile of cut logs outside the gate of the watershed. Curious, he scouted around and after a few minutes, he saw Rene and Dante coming out of the gate with some more newly-cut logs. He apprehended and charged them with the proper offense.
What is that offense? Explain. 2.5%
2. During the preliminary investigation and up to the trial proper, Rene and Dante contended that if they were to be held liable, their liability should be limited only to the newly-cut logs found in their possession but not to those found outside the gate.
If you were the judge, what will be your ruling? 2.5%

The offense is illegal possession of logs.

I will rule against Rene and Dante. It can be reasonably inferred that the logs outside the watershed gate belong to the same group of logs illegally possessed by them.
