Anti-rabies program a failure – lawmaker

QUEZON City Fourth District Rep. Marvin Rillo sought a congressional investigation into the "unsuccessful" National Rabies Prevention and Control Program (NRPCP), which was created by legislation 15 years ago.

"The NRPCP has missed its targets to eliminate human rabies by 2020 and to declare the Philippines rabies-free by 2022, despite ample funding of between P500 million and P900 million every year," Rillo said.
