Manila, April 1 -- The local government of San Remigio in Antique will inaugurate its PHP2.5 million livestock facility on Wednesday, which will serve as a venue for trading farm animals.

"Farmers from our town before had to bring their livestock to Sibalom for them to be able to sell to the traders," Mayor Margarito Mission Jr. said in an interview.

He said their new facility will allow farmers to save on transportation or hauling costs of around PHP1,000.

The livestock facility has a restroom, washing area and other amenities.

"It is also near the town marketplace and easily accessible for the farmers and traders," Mission added. (
