CEBU CITY, Philippines -- Cebu City Councilor David Tumulak is encouraging Mayor Edgardo Labella to find funds for more rabies vaccine for the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries

Pet owners bring their dogs to Plaza Independencia, Cebu City to avail of the free anti-rabies vaccination held as part of the Halad Pasalamat ni President Duterte in this June 25, 2016 file photo.

Tumulak said that the DVMF had written to him asking for legal interventions through the city council to find ways to fund their free rabies campaign. From January to September 2019, the DVMF has vaccinated 32,000 dogs both pets and streetdogs. The program is to ensure the safety of the public from rabies bites.

However, Tumulak is doubtful if there is still enough PAGCOR fund for Cebu City to fund the vaccines.
