Hi Daniel in Philippines A Spanish royal decree issued in the 19th century formally instituted a meat inspection system in the Philippines. The system called for a record of meat inspection and statistics and employed government-appointed meat inspectors or supervisors who were to witness the slaughtering process and try to detect animal diseases. When the Americans came in the early 20th century, the system came under the guidance and supervision of the United States Federal Meat Inspection Service. A veterinary surgeon under the Public Commissioner of Health conducted the meat inspection under a detailed system.
The National Meat Inspection Commission was renamed the National Meat Inspection System (NMIS). Since its establishment, the NMIS has protected the meat consuming public through efficient and effective meat inspection service. It monitors the entire process through the various stages of marketing and proper handling, inspection, processing, storage, and preservation of such products.
Finally, comparing Singapore land mass to Philippine the question is whether they have the manpower resources to enforce it and of course the public psychological mindedness and several facets of awareness, including a general sense of mindfulness not to sold unclean meat or disease meat for a profit. Like they say, Is profit at all costs really the most effective way to do business ?
