In the height of rampant illegal logging operation in the virgin forests land of Mindanao sometime in 1989, MR. PATRICIO AMADEO, saw an opportunity in the need to grow trees for commercial use. He availed of the Industrial Forest Plantation program sponsored by the Department of Natural Resources and became IFMA holder nos. 20, 40 and 06 (Industrial Forest Plantation Management Agreement). He planted Gmelina arborea R. Br in the open, denuded brushlands of Blagan and Datal Saluan in T'boli and Malungon, South Cotabato and converted them into a thriving Industrial Tree Plantation, thus the birth of PHELA RESOURCES CORPORATION.
To fully develop the potential of the Gmelina as an alternative to naturally grown trees (Lauan, Apitong, Yakal & other forest trees), Phela Resources Cor-poration, through the leadership of Mr. Patricio L.Amadeo had decided to put up a wood working plant in 1995. At this point in time, the planted trees of the Tree Plantation were still young, but there were numerous tree farms that were already manufacturing mouldings, kitchen cabinet doors, French windows and other woodworking products using Gmelina specie. On May 2006, Phela Resources Corporation-Wood Processing Division was given a separate entity as PATWOODS PROCESSING INC.
