00:15 The National Meat Inspection Service, Department of Agriculture, and Philippine Coast Guard
00:26 caught a lot of people who eat a lot of hot meat in Bacoor Public Market earlier this morning.
00:32 It was discovered that the NMIS did not issue a permit for the mishandled meat,
00:38 so they were considered as hot meat.
00:41 Because of this, the authorities conducted a surveillance operation.
00:46 So, while we were on our way, we saw that there were meat vendors who did not have a permit.
00:54 We confiscated these meat in violation of RA 9296 or the Meat Inspection Code of the Philippines.
01:02 More than 400 kilos of hot meat were caught that was worth more than P100,000.
01:10 According to the authorities, this could be harmful to the health of the consumers
01:16 because it did not pass the proper inspection.
01:19 So, they advised the consumers
01:21 to always make sure that the meat we buy has a proper inspection.
01:26 We asked for the Meat Inspection Certificate for our local meat
01:31 and the Certificate of Meat Inspection for our imported meat.
01:35 The last vendors were issued a Notice of Violation because of violating the Meat Inspection Code of the Philippines.
01:43 While they were bringing the meat to the rendering facility in Dasmariñas, the meat was confiscated for proper disposal.
01:51 BN Manalo, for the people.
