MANILA - Pharmaceutical company Unilab has denied allegations it exterminated stray cats wandering in its production facility in Mandaluyong City.

"We have looked further into the matter, including a thorough review of our third-party contract provider’s procedures. We have confirmed that no cat was ever exterminated in any of their processes," the company said in a statement Friday.

Unilab, makers of various household medicine brands said it was putting on hold the services of a pest control firm it hired. The Good Manufacturing Practice standards set by the Food and Drug Administration ensure that regulated pharmaceutical products in the market meet efficacy, safety and purity requirements.

Many of the cats were already spayed and neutered, and described to be "extremely friendly" to all, it added. "They are loved and cared for. They don’t bother anyone in the area. If anything, sobrang natutuwa pa po ang mga tao 'pag nakakalaro sila . So, please help us spread the word. We can’t do this alone. Let’s fight for their lives."In a statement, Rentokil said it does not condone such practice of controlling cat population and assured it "strictly" follows the law.
