00:00 The Filipinos are still in favor of eating pork and beef
00:04 despite the government's order to fight against rabies.
00:08 That's what Benji Durango said.
00:10 The line is full of black busters.
00:15 Even the owner of the bar is an instant celebrity.
00:18 Deo Balbuena is famous for his so-called "Diwata",
00:21 his 100 pesos Pares overload.
00:23 Unreleased?
00:24 There's also a soft drink.
00:25 The old "Binugbog" is now "Dinudumog".
00:28 I think my name is spreading on social media.
00:31 Maybe that's it.
00:32 Not only Pares, there are other choices like Lechon Kawali,
00:36 Chicharong Bulaklak, Manok, and more.
00:38 But he said,
00:39 "Business is hard,
00:41 there's a new problem."
00:43 The Agriculture Department is especially careful
00:45 with those who eat pork and beef.
00:48 Because rabies is now being transferred to dogs and cats.
00:52 They're now walking around.
00:54 If not monitored,
00:56 it's possible that people will consume meat
00:58 and the virus will be transferred to them.
01:00 It's not traced.
01:02 I know in the fields,
01:04 when they see that the cows are getting sick,
01:09 they immediately feed them
01:12 so that the beef is safe
01:14 instead of dying.
01:16 But there's no report yet
01:18 that the cows eating
01:21 in the marinduque
01:23 got sick.
01:25 In the province of Marinduque,
01:27 there's a rabies outbreak.
01:29 Two are dying and almost 10 residents are infected.
01:32 The cows, pigs, and wildlife there
01:34 are also getting sick.
01:36 Two towns are now under state of calamity
01:38 because of the rabies outbreak.
01:39 Some are afraid to follow.
01:41 Some regions have seen high rabies cases in animals.
01:45 Even if people are watching the rabies,
01:47 there's no indication that the meat of the cows
01:50 and pigs that are said to be infected with rabies
01:52 will reach our plates.
01:54 But for Dewata,
01:56 he's assuring that his cows are not infected with rabies.
01:58 First of all, there are no dogs here.
02:00 It looks like there are a lot of dogs
02:02 but there are no dogs.
02:04 He's the one buying the meat.
02:06 He went to the meat inspection.
02:08 For sure, the ones in the market
02:10 are safe.
02:12 Ms. Marie is a butcher and a pig farmer
02:14 in Pasig City Public Market.
02:16 This piece of paper proves that her meat is safe.
02:18 You're safe there.
02:20 It's like
02:22 the pig went to the doctor.
02:24 But she admitted that
02:26 she increased the price by 40 pesos
02:28 to the previous 300 pesos
02:30 for every kilo of piggy, cassim, and pork chop
02:32 because of the high price
02:34 and the small supply in the market.
02:36 She also accompanied by a bad sale.
02:38 She's not sure if this is the effect of the rabies.
02:40 They said that
02:42 in other parts,
02:44 like across the sea,
02:46 the pigs are infected.
02:48 It's like no one
02:50 is going to the sea.
02:52 That's why we increased the price
02:54 of the pigs here.
02:56 The DA is just taking care of the meat.
02:58 According to the DA,
03:00 the meat is from the pig.
03:02 It's important to cook it well
03:04 to kill any virus or dirt.
03:06 In rabies, because it's a zoonotic disease,
03:08 there's a possibility
03:10 that it will transfer
03:12 when the animal
03:14 eats it.
03:18 For her customers,
03:20 even if it's hot,
03:22 Pares is the best.
03:24 There's a lot of people eating.
03:26 I'm not afraid of people.
