Bird flu-free Tarlac holds chicken festival

Cases of avian influenza or bird flu may have been confirmed in nearby Nueva Ecija and Pampanga, but this did not stop Tarlac from holding its chicken festival.
Politikos and residents from Tarlac even ate chicken throughout the day on Thursday, August 24. This is all thanks to the bird flu-free status of the province.
While people may still eat chicken as long as it’s cooked properly, some are afraid to eat chicken given the outbreak. Clearly the people of Tarlac aren’t!
Let’s hope their bird flu-free status stays that way!
Politiko would love to hear your views on this...
