Alipio said the dogs were found by policemen on a van. He said the dogs were to be delivered to Baguio City.
Police, meanwhile, found out that the dogs came from Cavite province and will be sold to azucena (dog meat) traders in Baguiog City.
Alipio said the saved dogs will be brought to Manila City and his organization will try to look for prospective owners of the dogs.
