NMIS Central Office Team Building Activity 2025
The National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS)– Central Office successfully held a vibrant 3-day team-building activity from May 15 to 17, 2025, at the picturesque Costa Maya Beach Resort in Dinadiawan, Dipaculao, Aurora. The activity provided a much-needed break for employees from all divisions, offering time to relax, recharge, and connect in a serene coastal setting away from daily routines.
More than just a getaway, the team-building was thoughtfully organized to strengthen relationships, enhance collaboration, and nurture the teamwork that fuels NMIS’s ongoing success. Through a variety of engaging activities, challenges and exercises, participants were encouraged to build trust, communicate openly, and work together toward shared goals.
Safeguarding Food and Public Health: NMIS' Commitment and a Call to Collaborative Action Against AMR
As part of the Department of Agriculture’s nationwide strategy to combat Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) remains at the forefront of detecting, monitoring, and managing resistant pathogens throughout the meat production and distribution chain.
Pathogen surveillance has continuously been a critical component in NMIS’ mandate. In 2016, with the adoption of the Philippine AMR Surveillance Framework for the animal sector, AMR Surveillance was formally institutionalized. Since then, NMIS has routinely collected and analyzed bacterial isolates from healthy livestock—particularly pigs and poultry intended for human consumption—to track resistance trends and develop effective actions.
Recognizing AMR as a dynamic global threat, NMIS seeks to address systemic gaps in AMR management through evidence-based science, continuous capacity-building, and research collaborations with both local and international partners.
