Authorities shut down a large-scale piggery in San Fernando town, southeastern Cebu after it was caught in the act of directly discharging untreated livestock waste into the sea.
The piggery was caught in a joint operation conducted by the central offices of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and the Central Visayas offices of the NBI, BFAR, Philippine Coast Guard (PGC), Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) on Tuesday morning, February 26, 2019.
Lieutenant Junior Grade Michael John Encina told reporters in a press interview that they served a search warrant against the piggery following reports of a foul odor in Sitio Baho, Barangay Mantalisay, San Fernando being attributed to the establishment, which is located just along the Cebu South Road or N. Bacalso Avenue.
