Dingras, Ilocos Norte—The municipal government here has established a new AA type slaughterhouse.
Dingras Mayor Erdio Valenzuela announced this after representatives from the National Meat Inspection Commission (NMIC) witnessed the conduct of dry run of said high-tech slaughterhouse recently.
Mr. Valenzuela said that the municipal government has complied with all the requirements set forth by the NMIC in the operation of this latest type of slaughterhouse.
However, Mr. Valenzuela admitted that the required electricity power for the said slaughterhouse has not been completely installed yet because of the high voltage needed due to its three phases in butchering.
For the meantime, the municipal government used a generator for the dry-run.
He added that Dingras is “very lucky” because it has the latest type of slaughterhouse in the entire province of Ilocos Norte, the other one being in Sta Cruz, Ilocos Sur.
“We could guarantee a daytoy talaga a klase nga slaughterhouse ket amin a maparti idiay ket very clean and safe for consumption kadagiti kakailian a taga Dingras,” the mayor stressed.
Funding for the said slaughterhouse came from the BUB in the amount of PHP7.5 million for the building and machinery equipment while the municipal government counterpart was the backfilling, fencing, water system and the lot. 
As a business-friendly municipality, the mayor promised to maintain the existing rate being paid at the slaughterhouse.
However, he proposed that there should be a very minimal butcher fee to be paid through an ordinance “Ta ngamin awan mabaybayadan a butcher fee ita nga agdama ta dagiti agparparti ita ket bukod dagitoy aglaklako ket maymayat no bukod iti gobyerno municipal dagitoy butchers tapnu ammu da a tagibenen dagiti machineries a kabbaro”.
But this proposal will still depend on the meat vendors association through a consultation.
The mayor hopes the that said slaughterhouse will soon be fully operational upon completion of the needed power voltage.

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity. Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops. This year, the week-long festivity highlighted a grand parade around the town plaza and a pinakbet cook fest at the municipal gymnasium to showcase the best pinakbet in town. A boodle fight followed suit. Earlier, a fun run was participated by various groups ...
