PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, Oct. 20 (PNA) -– The National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) has lined up several activities for the celebration of the Meat Safety Consciousness Week (MSCW) that reeled off Monday, October 20, here in the region.

NMIS Regional Technical Director Arturo De Jesus Jr. said Monday the activities include radio program, hanging of streamers, thanksgiving mass, media forum, greening activities, good handling practices for homemakers and a fellowship.

De Jesus said at least 100 participants composed mostly of eateries and sari-sari storeowners are invited to attend the seminar on good handling practices for homemakers.

De Jesus said the seminar will be held in the barangays of Manga and Tuburan, this city since the celebration underscores the importance of meat safety consciousness among stakeholders.

He said the media forum is aimed to tap the help of the media practitioners disseminate information on meat safety to the public, considering mass media’s influence on the people and society.

He said they will also plant fruit-bearing trees at the watershed area in Barangay Manga, this city, as the agency’s corporate social responsibility in helping the government address the adverse effects of climate change.

This year’s MSCW is anchored on the theme “RA 101611 Food Safety Act: “Kaligtasan Ng Mamamayan At Katuwang Sa Kalakalan.” The MSCW celebration ends on Friday, October 24. (PNA)
