TUGUEGARAO CITY — The local government unit (LGU) has given the owner of a hog farm in a residential area of Barangay Linao Norte seven days to relocate about 40 pigs following complaints from residents about the foul odor coming from the property.
The notice was issued by the city’s Barangay Affairs Office after neighbors complained that the stench from the piggery had become a nuisance and posed health and sanitation concerns.
A Joint Inspectorate Team led by Barangay Affairs Officer Gerald Valdez, together with Sanitary Inspector Dexter Singson and barangay officials, inspected the property on Wednesday (July 1).
