Dr. Jake S. Sepe, Head of VQS Caraga and Dr. Shiela Mae O. Biñas, Substation Supervisor, VQS Caraga—Surigao del Norte, actively participated in the Quarantine Site Inspectors’ Trainers’ Training conducted by the Bureau of Animal Industry—National Veterinary Quarantine Services Division held at the Philippine Carabao Center in Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.

The training aimed to strengthen the proper and strict implementation of quarantine inspection procedures (pre-, during, and post-inspection) and ensure a unified and standardized evaluation system nationwide.

It also enhanced capacity in scenario-based troubleshooting, particularly in addressing non-standard site layouts and species-specific concerns.

This initiative reinforces VQS Caraga’s commitment to consistent, science-based, and quality quarantine inspection services.
