EdPam’s abattoir
Aug 18, 2010
WANT TO see the state of cleanliness in a city?
Visit the public market.
Want to know the real score in public health of a given city?
Visit its abattoir.
An abject failure in public sanitation then would be Angeles City. Its slaughterhouse every bit the archetype of the katayan – animal guts and blood caking with the dust of ages, stink and stench assaulting the olfactory senses.
Angeles City’s abattoir too has been primary contributor to the wastes flowing to the Sapang Balen Creek. Go ask the Most Reverend Pablo Virgilio David, auxiliary bishop of San Fernando who has cast a curse on all the polluters of the said waterway.
Hopefully, that has all changed. With yet another initiative coming from new City Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan.
At no cost to the city government, the abattoir has undergone a thorough transformation – from its old unsanitary stinking, dilapidated self to a thoroughly modern, hygienic, professionally managed slaughterhouse under lease to the Dealco Farms.
And to make Among Ambo and the environmentalists thoroughly happy, the wastewater treatment facility has been thoroughly modernized too.
“We are very conscious of corporate stewardship...(Hence) we completely acknowledge our responsibility towards the protection of our natural environment and see this as an integral part of our corporate ethics. Similarly, we want our business partners-mostly meat dealers and wet market vendors to succeed, not through short cuts but through doing what is truly good.” So declared Joyce Alcoreza, Dealco executive vice-president, of her company’s corporate values.
Dealco is a member of the Philippine Association of Meat Processors Inc. which mandate is “to provide dependable supply of safe and wholesome meat products at affordable prices to all Filipinos.”
Today, Wednesday, Mayor Pamintuan will unveil yet another campaign promise delivered: the newly rehabilitated city abattoir in Barangay Pampang.
In thanksgiving, a Holy Mass will be celebrated by Bishop David no less.
