Jun 09, 2026 1,332

For thousands of travelers passing through Clark International Airport every day, smooth operations often happen behind the scenes. Among the agencies helping ensure safety and efficiency is the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), whose efforts have now earned national recognition.

The Bureau of Animal Industry was named one of the awardees of the We Are CRK Wall of Fame for the First Quarter of 2026 during an awarding ceremony held on June 5 at the ACC Conference Room of Clark International Airport in Pampanga.

The recognition was granted by Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation in appreciation of the BAI’s significant contribution to maintaining high standards of customer service and operational efficiency at the airport.

BAI Director Dr. Christian Daquigan personally received the award alongside representatives from the Veterinary Quarantine Office Region III. Their work plays a vital role in ensuring the safe movement of animals, animal products, and related commodities through Clark International Airport.

The Veterinary Quarantine Office serves as a frontline safeguard against the entry and spread of animal diseases that could threaten the country's livestock industry and food security. Through inspections, monitoring, and compliance with veterinary regulations, the office helps protect both public health and the agricultural sector.

The award recognizes the agency’s continuous efforts to uphold efficient, transparent, and accountable public service. It also reflects the importance of inter-agency cooperation in maintaining the smooth flow of airport operations while ensuring compliance with animal health and quarantine regulations.

Clark International Airport has become one of the country's key gateways for domestic and international travel. As passenger and cargo traffic continue to grow, the role of government agencies such as the BAI becomes increasingly important in balancing trade facilitation, biosecurity, and public safety.

The We Are CRK Wall of Fame honors individuals and organizations that demonstrate outstanding dedication and professionalism in supporting airport operations and enhancing the overall passenger experience. Awardees are selected based on their commitment to service excellence and their contributions to the airport community.

As part of the recognition, the Bureau of Animal Industry's achievement will be featured on the We Are CRK Wall of Fame and the myCRK platform. The distinction places the agency among a select group of organizations recognized for making a positive impact on airport operations and public service delivery.

The recognition also highlights the broader role of veterinary quarantine services in protecting the country's agriculture industry from transboundary animal diseases. These diseases can have serious economic consequences for farmers, livestock producers, and food supply chains if not properly managed.

For the Bureau of Animal Industry, the award serves as both a recognition of past accomplishments and an inspiration to continue delivering quality service. As the agency strengthens its efforts in animal health protection and agricultural biosecurity, its work remains essential in supporting the country's agricultural growth and safeguarding the welfare of Filipino farmers and consumers.
