WHEREAS, the LGU of Guinobatan had long envisioned for a new and modernized
slaughterhouse (abattoir) in town, fully equipped with the needed meat
facilities compliant with the national standards and be a primary producer of
quality meat in the locality;
WHEREAS, the present state of the towns slaughterhouse and its location in Barangay
Ilawod and along a river, will not fit to its vision of being a major producer
of meat and meat products in and outside of the province where a shortage
of these vital commodities have been noted for a considerable time;
WHEREAS, in the past, the Bicol University College of Agriculture and Forestry with
their offered course on Animal Husbandry, had been pursuing a partnership
with the Local Government along this laudable plan by offering a site inside
their campus on the same purpose, which according to their school officials,
the plan could further be strengthened by offering a new course for
butchering which is at present becoming an in demand career not only in our
country but in other countries like New Zealand, Australia, Denmark and
other meat/cattle producing countries;
