00:00 [News Anchor] In the State of Calamity, two people are in the hospital because of the case of rabies.

00:05 [News Anchor] Our witness, Tina Panganiban-Perez.

00:08 [Music]

00:11 [News Anchor] Because of the case of rabies, including the cows and pigs,

00:14 [News Anchor] two people in the hospital are in the State of Calamity, the BWAC and Buena Vista.

00:20 [News Anchor] Before this, the Provincial Veterinarian did an animal disease investigation

00:25 [News Anchor] after a teenager was infected with rabies in 2023.

00:29 [News Anchor] Since then, it was found that almost 70 reported rabies cases were found in those animals,

00:35 [News Anchor] particularly in dogs.

00:37 [News Anchor] More than 40 were positive in the lab test.

00:40 [Doctor] Considering the number of human deaths and the number of animals tested positive for rabies in the outbreak.

00:49 [News Anchor] The Agriculture Department will clarify that not only cows and pigs need to be vaccinated,

00:55 [News Anchor] but also dogs and cats that can be the source of their rabies.

00:59 You need a rabid dog or a cat to transfer the virus.

01:04 And by biting the other animal, you transfer it.

01:10 So, yes, it all comes from dogs and cats.

01:15 [News Anchor] In Marinduque, mass vaccination was already done for dogs and cats.

01:19 [News Anchor] Because there, not only humans are the ones who are infected with rabies,

01:23 [News Anchor] but also cows, pigs and even a Philippine brown deer.

01:27 [News Anchor] It is not said that rabies can be spread to other animals.

01:32 It is only infected. Unfortunately, our wildlife sanctuary is not afraid.

01:38 So, the bottom line is that it can be an incursion to our wildlife sanctuary

01:46 and can inflict more damage to our wildlife.

01:49 [News Anchor] In addition, Marinduque Provincial Veterinarian said that they have controlled the spread of infection to humans.

01:56 [News Anchor] According to the Department of Agriculture,

01:58 [News Anchor] there is no doubt that people who are infected with rabies are the ones who are infected with rabies

02:02 [News Anchor] because of eating infected animals.

02:04 [News Anchor] They are not denying that people eat this even when it is still boiling.

02:09 [News Anchor] The investigation into the meat they buy is being resumed.

02:12 There is a possibility that the infected animal can be transferred when eaten.

02:17 That's why we are very careful in NMIS on not moving pork and cattle.

02:23 You need to go to NMIS if you are going to buy pork or beef.

02:29 [News Anchor] When the Health Department is crying,

02:32 [News Anchor] rabies is rarely found in food.

02:35 Because the virus does not survive when the animal is killed where they are.

02:45 The only possibility is that the brain is cooked and the virus is still there.

02:55 Although, as far as I can report,

02:59 because we are not sure if rabies can be transmitted when you eat that kind of meat,

03:06 the recommendation is to get vaccinated.

03:09 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.

03:15 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
