00:00The Agricultural Departments in the Senate have insisted that the vaccines against rabies should not be distributed yet.
00:08Ma'am Gonzales has learned a lesson.
00:14A child was born because of rabies.
00:17A line of people who want to get vaccinated against it in San Lazaro Hospital
00:21and pigs and cows who also got rabies in some provinces.
00:24In the midst of these rumors and the need for rabies control,
00:29the Senate Committee on Agriculture first informed the Department of Agriculture
00:33that the anti-rabies vaccine is worth P10 million
00:37and that it should not be distributed yet to the local governments.
00:40Anti-rabies, how do you divide it all over the place?
00:44It depends on which areas have high cases.
00:48We will distribute them there.
00:52Have you started?
00:53For now, not yet.
00:54When will you start?
00:55Once it is procured.
00:57When is that?
00:58We are waiting, ma'am.
01:01We haven't received any advice yet.
01:04Even they are confused.
01:06They don't know.
01:07That's how ineffective our system is.
01:15You don't even know who you are going to approach.
01:19According to the DA, they haven't received funds for anti-rabies vaccine for several years.
01:24And they are just about to start.
01:26The Philippines is, in fact, ranked 6th among countries with the highest rabies incidence in the world.
01:33The number of rabies cases, according to the committee, reached 13 million in 2022.
01:41Stray animals are mainly a human health hazard
01:45because of the spread of diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis and other parasites.
01:54The number of animals being killed per pound is also increasing.
01:58But animal rights activists ask,
02:01shouldn't priority be given to strays?
02:04Is it more expensive to do that versus just strays?
02:08What happens is, there are more stray animals than ever before.
02:13So we have to question the validity of this practice.
02:18Increase the number of strays because that will stop the stray dogs.
02:23For rabies, the local government can take care of that.
02:26Rabies is cheap.
02:27Capon and ligate are expensive.
02:29And that is population control.
02:32That's why stray dogs and cats will be reduced.
02:35For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
