00:00 the drop of the kilo of meat of the Calabasas in Balintawak Market
00:04 was blocked by the National Meat Inspection Service.
00:08 The meat that was considered as "hot meat"
00:11 was not inspected properly.
00:14 Bian Manalo is in the center of the news.
00:17 The National Meat Inspection Service,
00:25 Department of Agriculture,
00:27 and the Philippine Coast Guard,
00:30 were the ones who dropped the kilo of local beef
00:32 or meat of the Calabasas
00:34 in their stores in Balintawak Market.
00:37 It was found that the meat did not come from
00:40 the authorized slaughterhouse of the NMIS
00:43 and the local government.
00:45 That's why these were considered as "hot meat".
00:48 Because of this,
00:50 the authorities conducted a two-week surveillance operation.
00:54 If you look at this, it's already smelly.
00:58 We suspect that when this was slaughtered,
01:01 it underwent flooding.
01:03 It means that they were drinking water.
01:05 They were drinking water to gain weight
01:08 and to increase their income.
01:10 Which is what is put in danger,
01:14 the meat safety.
01:17 The meat weighed 4,538 kilos or 12 kilograms of Calabasas
01:24 which is worth more than 1.4 million pesos.
01:29 According to the authorities,
01:31 this could be harmful to the health of the buyers
01:35 because it did not undergo proper inspection.
01:38 It's possible that it could be food poisoning.
01:42 Food poisoning means that it could eat and vomit.
01:46 It could cause death due to dehydration.
01:49 It's very complicated.
01:51 Particularly, people who are immunocompromised
01:53 will eat this.
01:55 This is a sign that Filipinos will eat this.
01:59 It's not safe to eat this.
02:01 According to the NMIS,
02:03 the sale of local caribou meat to the markets
02:06 is not prohibited if it comes from authorized slaughterhouses.
02:10 That's why they advise the buyers
02:12 to bring their own documents from NMIS or local
02:17 that says the meat is from an authorized slaughterhouse
02:20 that is owned by an authorized vehicle of NMIS or LGU.
02:24 It should be clean and it should be properly inspected.
02:30 The two stores were issued a notice of violation
02:34 because of violating the Meat Inspection Code of the Philippines.
02:38 While bringing the meat from authorized slaughterhouses
02:42 to the proper disposal.
02:44 BN Manalo, for the people.
