LUCENA CITY, Quezon- Chairman Leonardo Portillo of Infanta Water District and General Manager Antonieto Pujalte of Guinayangan Water District were elected chairman and president respectively of the association of water districts (QUAWD) for 2012-2013.
LUCENA CITY, Quezon- To allay the worries of the consumers, the veterinary office in this city has immediately acted on the information that ‘botcha’ meat continue to penetrate the public markets in the city.


Imee Tumacder of Quezon Metropolitan Water District (QMWD) Lucena City said QUAWD has 18 member water districts, who are involved in the operation and management of water utilities in Quezon province with the aims of ensuring the sustainability of water in its service jurisdictions. It has grown by leaps and bounds and it has metamorphosed into a potent umbrella organization under PAWD and STAWD involved in water supply development.
City Veterinarian Dr. Winston Avillo urgently called a meeting among meat vendors in the public market to warn them on the possible proliferation of ‘botcha’ meat without their knowledge.


The other newly elected officers are: Vice-Chairman- Domingo Laduan, Guinayangan water district; Vice President- Engr. Julito Talastas, Mauban water district; Secretary- Ernani Tan, San Francisco water district; Treasurer- Nelia Avila, Calauag water district; Auditor- Cirilo Frondoso,Tagkawayan water district; ; Pro- Darnilo Altea.
Avillo explained that ‘botcha’ is contaminated meat, a double dead meat that may cause diseases to humans when eaten, thus not fit for human consumption.


QUAWD’s member of the executive board are as follows: Atty.Leovigildo Ceriila, Lopez water district; Dr. Rosenio Medenilla, Mauban water district; Dr. Aurea Macaraig, Catanauan water district; Dr. Estelita Rodelas, Gumaca water district; Engr. Alfredo Dimaculangan, Calauag water district; Rey Atienza, Tiaong water district; Ezra Suarez, Infanta water district and Jendy Veloso, San Francisco water district.
Dr. Avillo also assured the residents not to worry because all the meat being sold in the public market was slaughtered in the city slaughterhouse.
 
As result of the meeting, an agreement was forged among meat vendors, officers of the city public market administration and the city veterinary office that no ‘botcha’ meat will be sold in the public market.
 
The agreement was submitted to Lucena City Mayor Barbara Ruby Talaga to inform her that the meat vendors are against the proliferation of ‘botcha’ meat and are opposing its entry to the public market.
 
Meanwhile, Avillo thanked the meat vendors for responding to their call to watch the possible entry of ‘botcha meat’ in the local market.
