Meat from Malagos Double A slaughterhouse NMIS compliant

The Malagos Double A abattoir with cold storage and meat cutting facilities and the Halal slaughterhouse were recently extended license to operate and a copy of the certification from the Na- tional Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), which means all the meat from the said facility underwent procedures that meet NMIS standards.

Joseph Gabut, slaughterhouse master IV, said the license for the moment is for hogs/pork only.

“Bag-o lang nato nakuha ang atong license to operate pero sa hogs lang.

Na-approve na last week naa nata’y kopya coming from the NMIS office na yung Double A category, kanang mga carcasss or karne sa Malagos slaughter house, puwede nimo ibaligya sa tibuok Pilipinas.

Some officials of our government agencies do not have a sense of urgency.

They do not deserve to be on the government payroll, if that’s the case.

I registered in September 2021 to secure my national ID as required by law through the Philippine Statistics Authority.

Another argument was that the personal information might fall into the wrong hands and may be exploited by criminally-inclined minds, like computer hackers who use the sensitive information for illegal money-making purposes.

In our case, in order to establish a person’s real identity, local banks and many offices, including government agencies, require two sets of IDs when we transact business with them.

However, not all people have the required two sets of IDs in their possession. To offset this, one national ID (that is the be-all ID) acceptable in all transactions was intensely pursued and finally resolved after so much legislative hassle and haggling and all that jazz.

The PSA complained of funding lack the last time I heard, a usual bellyaching excuse that government agencies are notoriously famous for when they find themselves in a corner.

The Philippine bureaucracy has not improved a bit and it is no small wonder why Pinoys are getting this low grade kind of public service.
