This specie is probably the most common in Midanao, tugas-sa-bato is only found on Sarangani Province. It is normally found on rocky mountains.
As years go by this specie is almost extinct in wild not because of bonsai hunters but because of wild fire happening in these mountains. After the fires are out instead of tugas, ipil-ipil and nim trees are growing in these areas.
Before, the natives in these mountains use tugas as their firewood as it is so hard it don't burnout easily, but because of bonsai they make it as one of their livelihood. You can see a lot of Bonsai material sellers along the road of Sarangani to Gensan.
