Called machine graded lumber (MGL), the method was developed by the Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) in tandem with the Japan-based International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO).

The rationale behind the crafting of the procedure is that the current national ban on logging has opened the door for contractors to rely more heavily on imported lumber for their construction needs.
