Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory XI

Grateful to have spent this season mentoring and working alongside these amazing interns from

University of Southern Mindanao,
Visayas State University,
Mindanao State University,
Central Mindanao University, and
Bukidnon State University 🤍

At the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, learning goes beyond textbooks. It’s about hands-on experience, discipline, responsibility, and developing a heart for service—especially in safeguarding animal health and supporting our agricultural community.

Each of you brought dedication, curiosity, and a willingness to learn—even in the smallest and most routine tasks. From sample handling to diagnostics, you showed growth, teamwork, and professionalism that truly reflect your potential as future scientists and practitioners.

Different schools, different stories—but one shared purpose: to learn, to serve, and to make a difference. ✨

We’re proud of how far you’ve come, and we’re excited to see where this journey takes you. Keep striving, keep learning, and never lose the passion to serve.

Congratulations, interns! 🎓🤍

A total of 30 captive-bred and rescued Philippine Eagles from the Philippine Eagle Center and the National Bird Breeding Sanctuary underwent their Annual Comprehensive Physical Check-up.

The veterinary team performed thorough hands-on examinations—assessing vital signs, body condition, feather quality, and overall health status. This scheduled annual procedure complements the eagles’ regular daily monitoring and ongoing veterinary care, allowing for an in-depth, full physical assessment under controlled conditions.

Proactive health management is a cornerstone of conservation. Through continuous monitoring and annual in-depth assessments, we help ensure that each eagle remains strong, healthy, and ready to thrive.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the team from Dr. Bayani Animal Wellness Clinic, our colleagues from the City Environment and Natural Resources Office of Mati City for their invaluable support, and the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RADDL)-Bureau of Animal Industry-DA, for conducting disease screening laboratory tests across the years. We also thank all volunteers and trainees who contributed to the success of this activity.
