The dog
catcher of Boracay, Jun Jun Mendoza pointedly denied the allegation by 2 Swiss
nationals that he caught stray dogs and butchered and sold them.
This was
exposed by Town Council Member Dante Pagsuguiron, Committee Chairman of
Agriculture at the Session Wednesday morning, October 23.
This was
after the allegation from the 2 Swiss nationals against Mendoza was discussed
during a privilege speech at the session.
According to
the Councilman, he had started the investigation or the questioning on Mendoza,
and the dog catcher had denied wrongdoing.
Regarding
this, Pagsuguiron had allegedly given instruction to Mendoza to take good care
of caught stray dogs and to feed them correctly and that the dogs should be at
the dog pound according to an Ordinance.
Because of
the incident, the Councilman decided to call on the Island Administrator, Municipal
Officer, and dog catchers in the island for a Committee hearing.
This is to
find whether it is correct to implement the ordinance regarding stray dogs in
Boracay since if a dog catcher does what was in the allegation, there will be
injustice. According to the Councilman, this should be set straight.
