"We inaugurated our animal shelter on Wednesday. We assume that this is the first in the province of Iloilo," said Lambunao Vice-Mayor Arvin Losaria in an interview on Thursday. The establishment of the animal shelter was under the municipality's ordinance that regulates stray animals and set up of the animal shelter for their capture, which was passed by the Lambunao town council last year, he added. Before the enactment of the ordinance, Losaria said they often saw scattered trash at the public market every morning due to animals foraging for food
