Revenues of the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian of Negros Occidental grew by 58 percent in 2008 to P3.945 million, from only P2.3 million in the previous year, PVO figures show.

Provincial Veterinarian Renante Decena said in a Jan. 6 report to Gov. Isidro Zayco that the collection increase can be attributed to the implementation of the Revised Provincial Tax Ordinance and strict enforcement of the quarantine regulation in both sea and airports.

Decena said the P3.945 million was derived from issuances of veterinary inspection and laboratory fees, and income from milk sales.
