PASIG CITY, Philippines — Local officials are moving to correct the record following a wave of viral social media posts showcasing a sleek, modern veterinary facility purportedly belonging to the Pasig City government.
In a statement aimed at curbing public confusion, the city clarified that the high-end facility seen in recent trending photos is not a government-owned building. Instead, the images depict a newly established private veterinary clinic that recently opened within the city limits.
Setting the Record Straight
While the city government expressed appreciation for the public’s enthusiasm regarding animal welfare, they emphasized the importance of distinguishing between private investments and public projects.
- The Viral Photos: Represent a private entity, not a taxpayer-funded facility.
- Current Status: The private clinic is operational, which may have led residents to believe the city’s new department was already open for business.
Updates on the Official Pasig City Veterinary Facility
For residents looking forward to enhanced public pet services, there is still good news. The Pasig City Veterinary Services Department confirmed that a brand-new, official government facility is indeed on the way.
However, officials noted that the project is currently in the construction phase. The public is advised that the official site is:
- Not yet open to the public.
- Not yet operational for medical procedures or consultations.
- Still undergoing final structural developments to meet city standards.
The local government urged citizens to rely on official city hall social media channels for updates regarding the grand opening and the specific services that will be offered once the building is completed.
