"(a) If the offense is committed within a proclaimed timberland or a communal forest or communal pasture, a fine of three times the regular government charges upon the timber or other forest products so unlawfully destroyed, and in addition thereto, imprisonment for not less than four months and not more than six months;
"(b) If the offense is committed within a forest reserve, a fine of four times the regular government charges on the timber or other forest products so unlawfully destroyed, and in addition thereto imprisonment for not less than six months and not more than eight months;
"(c) If the offense is committed in any of the public forest, other than those mentioned under subsection (a) and (b) hereof, a fine equivalent to twice the regular government charges upon the timber or other forest products so unlawfully destroyed, and in addition thereto, imprisonment, for not less than two months and not more than four months.
"In all case falling under this section, the court shall upon conviction, order the eviction of the offender from the land, and the forfeiture to the government of any construction or improvement made thereon. If the area is reforested or under reforestation, the court shall, in addition to the penalties herein provided, sentence the accused to pay to the government double the actual damages sustained as determined by the value of plantings and improvements destroyed and the detriment to the land and vegetation thereof.
If the forest areas the subject of this section have been given under license, permit or authorization for exploitation to a private party, said party shall be responsible for the payment of the pecuniary penalties prescribed in this Act and shall defray the expenses for the reforestation, or replanting of any area that is cut or cleared in violation of law.
"No person who has occupied any portion of these forests in good faith for more than five years prior to June 8, 1939 shall be subject to the penalty prescribed herein and should the area so occupied be found to be more fitted for agricultural than for timber purposes, the same may be disposed of in favor of the actual occupant or occupants under the provisions of Commonwealth Act Numbered One hundred and forty-one."
