00:00 The government is planning to fight rabies this summer.
00:04 Experts say it's not just dogs or cats that have it.
00:09 In Mariduke, some pigs and cows have tested positive for rabies.
00:15 Here is Tina's first news.
00:21 [News report in Filipino]
00:31 On average, in the past 3 to 5 years,
00:36 it is estimated that one Filipino dies from rabies in our country.
00:44 Before it reaches that point, there are still some symptoms that need to be monitored.
00:51 For example, pain or itching when bitten by an animal.
00:53 Fear of water and light.
00:55 Weakness, vomiting and paralysis of the body.
01:00 In addition to avoiding being bitten or bitten by an animal,
01:04 the World Health Organization is also warning against eating meat or drinking milk from rabies-infected animals.
01:12 This is an important reminder,
01:14 especially that it's not just dogs and cats that can be infected by the virus,
01:18 like what's happening now in Mariduke.
01:20 The latest now in Mariduke is even cattle are infected.
01:32 Even wildlife.
01:34 Rabies has already spread to cattle.
01:38 That's why they have to pursue vaccination.
01:42 Because rabies will come from dogs and cats.
01:46 Two cows and three pigs tested positive for rabies there, according to the Agriculture Department.
01:52 The symptoms of rabies in cows are the same as in dogs.
01:56 It's very contagious and can lead to death within 3 to 5 days.
02:02 What if the owner of the cow doesn't know that her calf has rabies and she fed it to a human?
02:10 If it is not cooked properly, just like any other diseases, it will move to the human.
02:17 Aside from proper cooking, it's important to choose the meat to be collected,
02:22 which is being tested by the meat inspectors.
02:26 But before that, even cows need to be vaccinated.
02:31 At least 40 to 50 percent of the livestock of pets will be vaccinated.
02:39 So DA now is preparing a budget.
02:44 It is 100 percent preventable through vaccination and the department is committed to strengthen this program.
02:51 The Department of Agriculture also has a free vaccination of wild animals.
02:55 They are also given free microchip.
02:58 I hope that there will always be projects like this and other street dogs
03:02 so that they will also have a chance to be safe from rabies.
03:05 As long as your anti-rabies is updated, your house is safe, everyone is safe.
03:11 Rabies Awareness Month was held in Marzo, but the whole year of the campaign was against rabies.
03:17 It's present even it's rainy, it's summer.
03:21 There are so many animals, dogs and cats here in the Philippines.
03:27 Rabies is being neglected without any injection.
03:32 Even if a person is vaccinated,
03:36 they should also be vaccinated against rabies.
03:41 And even if rabies is rare among two people,
03:45 according to the WHO, it is still better to be careful whenever it is close to an infected person.
03:51 This is the first news. Tina Panganiban Perez for GMA Integrated News.
