NAGA CITY –- The multi-awarded Naga City Abattoir has been chosen by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) as an LGU Model Corporate Project for replication by other local government units.

        This was conveyed to Naga City Mayor Jesse M. Robredo this week by DILG Regional Director Blandino M. Maceda who said that the Naga City Abattoir, how it is being run and managed is “replicable to LGUs not only in Region V (Bicol) but to other regions as well”.

        He explained that the selection is in line with DILG Secretary Ronaldo V. Puno’s instruction to come up with project models showcasing the LGU’s corporate functions worthy of replication.

        “This will involve the development of corporate-type projects to further enhance the capabilities of LGUs to generate income and revenues,” he added.

        Blandino told the city mayor that they are now in the process of documenting the city abattoir project with the purpose of making available essential information about its operation and present it in a way that would facilitate its use by the replicating LGUs in developing their own work plan.

        The Naga City Abattoir has been a consistent regional winner as cleanest “AA” category abattoir/slaughterhouse since 1995, which annual award has been given by the National Meat Inspection Commission of the Department of Agriculture.
