Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2 councilors push for Agdao slaughterhouse By Grace L. Plata
DAVAO City Councilors Danilo Dayanghirang and Diosdado Angelo Mahipus are pushing for the establishment of a satellite slaughterhouse in Agdao, which is practically a move to legitimize what has already been operating illegally.
In separate privileged speeches, both councilors said the City Council have to be fair by extending to the second district the same courtesy they have given the first district by approving the satellite slaughterhouse in Bankerohan, Barangay 5-A under Barangay Captain Edgar Ibuyan.
Dayanghirang said the matter has to be given priority since the proposal has been with the council for quite some time.
Mahipus, for his part, said the application is still pending as concerned government agencies may disapprove it in view of the alleged violations in sanitary procedure in the area.
