CVO offers free castration
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Dumaguete Veterinary Office will offer free castration of male dogs starting today up to March 28, city veterinarian Dr. Lourdes Socorro said.
The CVO said this is aimed at the increasing stray dog population, not only in Dumaguete but also in other local government units.
Socorro is urging barangay captains to report increasing dog population in their areas, and to coordinate with the CVO on activities for March as Rabies Awareness Month.
| Tax collection rating lauded The Department of Finance in Central Visayas lauded the Dumaguete City government for its steady increase in tax collection for the last three years. Officer-in-charge Renee Empaces of the DoF in Region 7 said Dumaguete is 0.20 points short of ranking no. 1 in terms of real property collections in the entire region, for the third quarter last year. The city registered 78.05 percent tax collection in 2005, 94.99 percent in 2006 and 99.74 percent in 2007, records reveal. |
