Rabies is a preventable viral disease most often transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal, mostly dogs or cats. The virus infects the central nervous system of mammals, ultimately causing disease in the brain or becoming fatal.
In Koronadal City, South Cotabato’s capital, City Veterinarian Dr. Charlemagne Calo from the City Veterinary Office revealed that the local government plans to implement a high-tech mechanism using microchip implants for dogs to store valuable data, enhance pet ownership approaches, and reduce the majority of stray dogs and the associated risk of rabies in the city.
Under Section 5 of Republic Act 9842, pet owners must submit their dogs for mandatory registration, maintain control over their pets, and keep them from roaming the streets or any public place without a leash. Calo noted that the LGU will gradually execute the initiative because of budget concerns and a lack of manpower, considering Koronadal has 27 barangays.
