FOR INFORMATION OF ALL PCCI MEMBERS BOTH REGULAR AND ASSOCIATES:

Civil Case No. MC06 -2962, filed in Mandaluyong City

1. PLARIDEL Products & Services, Inc., has filed a suit against the PCCI asking for damages of Php4,250,000.00 plus cost of suit for their claim that PCCI did not impose the pre-registration requirement of microchipping as per a MOA signed by Plaridel and PCCI.

2. PLARIDEL likewise filed a TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER (TRO) to order PCCI to cease and desist from registering pure-bred dogs that are not properly identified by microchipping. Our lawyers, the Abejo and Partners Law Office, are now fighting to stop the courts' issuance of a TRO.
