The municipal government of E.B. Magalona proposed the construction of an abattoir or slaughterhouse in Barangay Gahit. 

Mayor Marvin Malacon presented the feasibility study of the project during the deliberation with the Western Visayas Regional Project Advisory Board (RPAB) at Negros Residences here on March 14. 

The RPAB is an interagency multidisciplinary team constituted and mandated to review and approved plans, feasibility studies, detailed engineering designs, and program of works of proposed projects for Philippine Rural Development Project (PDRP) funding. 

Based on the project briefer, it aims to build an accredited slaughterhouse in the town that will provide a quality and high standard service in slaughtering animals that will produce safe and hygienic meat for consumers.

"This is to ensure that animals for slaughter and carcasses have been inspected by a certified meat inspector and follow the standards required by the law such as Republic Act (RA) 9226 and RA 10536 (Meat Inspection Code) and RA 10611 (Food Safety Act)," the briefer added.

During the deliberation, the RPAB approved the budget for the project, which will be funded and implemented under the PRDP of the Department of Agriculture (DA).

An abattoir is a place where livestock such as pigs, cows, chickens, and goats are brought to be slaughtered and processed for meat. It will be officially named the E.B. Magalona (Saravia) Municipal Abattoir.

In a statement, Engr. Erwin Poniado, head of the Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO), said that “now that the RPAB had approved its funding, the abattoir project will be up for bidding next.”

The RPAB panel was composed of Engr. Moises Mana-ay, deputy project director of the DA-Western Visayas, who presided the deliberation; Lucrecia Taberna of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR)-Western Visayas, Jasten Aires Ledesma of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-Negros Occidental, Danilo Lorilla of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Western Visayas, Nelia Villeta of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)-Western Visayas, Engiemar Tupas of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-Negros Occidental, and Stephen Santillan of the Regional Agriculture and Fishery Council-Western Visayas.
