PUBLIC ADVISORY
To ensure the continuous shipment of live animals, animal products and by-products, the validity of Local Veterinary Health Certificates (VHCs) issued by veterinarians from Local Government Units (LGUs) and Department of Agriculture Regional Field Offices is temporarily extended from three (3) days to five (5) days.

The extended validity of the VHC will apply when securing the following:
Local Shipping Permit (LSP)

Export Veterinary Health Certificate

Commodity Clearance Certificate

Veterinary Quarantine Clearance

This temporary extension is implemented in compliance with Office of the President Memorandum Circular No. 114, which directs government offices to adopt flexible work arrangements and energy conservation measures, including the implementation of a four-day workweek in some agencies and local government units.

The five (5) day validity period shall begin on the day following the issuance date of the Veterinary Health Certificate and shall include Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

This aims to ensure the smooth movement of regulated commodities and uninterrupted delivery of veterinary services despite the adjusted work schedules in government offices.

For the information and guidance of the public.

Today marks one year since we lost Dr. Castor Leo Ejercito โ€” a dedicated veterinarian, an inspiring leader, and a true advocate of both animal welfare and improvement of livestock industry. His passion for saving lives and strengthening veterinary quarantine protocols left a lasting impact on our team and our community.

Though he is no longer with us, his guidance, kindness, and commitment continue to inspire the work we do every day. Thank you, Doc Biboy, for your service, your leadership, and the legacy you left behind. You are deeply missed and forever remembered.
