The Supreme Court on Wednesday made permanent the halt order against the cutting and earth-balling of trees on Luneta Hill in Baguio City, the area for the expansion of a shopping mall.

In 2015, the SC issued a temporary restraining order that prohibited SM Baguio from cutting of 182 pine and alnus trees. This was after the Department of Environment and Natural Resources allowed the cutting of trees.
