On June 24, 2025, the Good Animal Husbandry Practices (GAHP) Team met with Mr. Marc Fenn T. Balgos of the Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) at the Animal Health and Welfare Division, to strengthen ongoing efforts in promoting GAHP certification across the livestock and poultry sector.

This dynamic discussion centered on BOI’s proposed Study Tour for GAHP-Certified Farms, which aims to highlight best practices, foster a deeper appreciation of certified operations, and engage regulators in shaping policies that can mainstream GAHP nationwide. The initiative is part of BOI’s broader strategy to drive investments in food security, biosecurity, and sustainable agri-livestock development through the Strategic Investment Priority Plan (SIPP).
