SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga — A pet crematorium in this city has been ordered to cease operations after inspectors found it lacked the required business permit to function legally.
The Inter-Agency Lawful Business Operations Coordination Task Force (IALBOCTF) of San Fernando City conducted an inspection of the Holistic Animal Doctor Crematorium in Barangay Panipuan on November 3. Following the inspection, authorities determined the facility was operating without proper licensing and moved to shut it down.
City Hall announced the closure in a statement released Thursday evening, underscoring the municipality's commitment to ensuring businesses comply with local regulatory requirements. The action reflects ongoing efforts by San Fernando's inter-agency task force to monitor and enforce lawful business operations across the city.
The closure signals heightened scrutiny of specialized service providers in the region, with authorities emphasizing that all commercial enterprises, regardless of their nature, must obtain appropriate permits and licenses before commencing operations.
