Alaminos ‘AA’ abbatoir among country’s best
FOR the second consecutive year, the Alaminos City slaughterhouse made it to the circle of top producers of safe and quality meat in the country today.
Known as the Don Leopoldo O. Alcedo Abattoir, the city’s slaughterhouse was finalist in the “AA” Slaughterhouse Category in the Search for Best Meat Establishment after besting its counterparts in the provincial and regional level.
Mayor Hernani A. Braganza and City Veterinarian Ronald Abarra personally received the award from Agriculture Sec. Domingo F. Panganiban last October 21 at the Bureau of Soil and Water Management in Diliman Quezon City.
The simple awarding rites highlighted the 13th Meat Safety Consciousness Week and 33rd NMIS Anniversary celebration on the theme “Pambansang Kapakanan, Pandaigdigang Pamantayan sa Bagong Batas Makakamtan”.
St. Jude Abattoir of Tagaloan, Misamis Oriental bagged the highest award. Other finalists include Roblu Meat Products (Cainta, Rizal), Rombi XM Trade (Pulilan, Bulacan), Dumaguete City Abattoir and Santiago City Abattoir (Isabela).
Braganza commended Abarra as well as the NMIS accredited meat inspectors of the city for the accomplishment.
Through his administration’s “Ocho-ocho Dev’t. Program” for the livestock sector, Braganza is extending additional funding support and assistance to the veterinary division.
“This humble feat would definitely inspire more our meat inspectors and staff to extend their share for the realization of our vision of a “Hot Meat Free City” in the next five years” Abarra, a former city councilor, said
In 2003, the city veterinary office was also adjudged as the Best Implementor of Meat Inspection Service and Good Management Practices.
With the city’s proposed construction of a cold storage facility at the abattoir compound coming soon, the slaughterhouse could further improve its services in the coming year (MAM-CIO)
