00:00This August, the Department of Agriculture started the distribution of vaccines against African Swine Fever.

00:07What will be the effect of this on the price of pork?

00:10Witness, Darlene Cai.

00:16The pork that Elizabeth is selling is already running low, but it is still at a loss today.

00:21It's about to expire, but she still can't buy 15 kilos.

00:25Here in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City, 35 pesos per kilo of pork is increased compared to the beginning of the year.

00:33Of course, it's better if the price of pork goes down so that people can afford it.

00:38Based on the latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority,

00:41the price of pork has almost doubled this June compared to last month.

00:46The reason is the increase in the number of cases of African Swine Fever or ESF

00:51according to the National Economic and Development Authority or NEDA.

00:54That's why it's important to distribute vaccines against ESF that the Department of Agriculture or DA plans to distribute this August to September.

01:00The government can already get the first batch of 600,000 doses of vaccine.

01:04The controlled rollout is set for the third quarter of 2024

01:09prioritizing eligible commercial farms, semi-commercial enterprises, and clustered backyard farms that are very important.

01:18Under strict buy supervision, this initial rollout is strictly voluntarily.

01:23The budget for vaccines and other expenses, such as syringes, is 350 million pesos.

01:29The places that have active cases of ESF are prioritized.

01:32According to the latest data from the Bureau of Animal Industry, 18 provinces have active cases of ESF.

01:38The vaccine is really effective.

01:40Definitely, it has a big effect on our production

01:44because people will now invest again.

01:48The number of swine fever will increase again.

01:51There's a good chance that the price of pork will go down.

01:54We will know the real effects after six months, by February next year.

02:01The Food and Drug Administration of the FDA assured the public that it has gone through a thorough study of vaccines against ESF.

02:08Monitoring will also be strict when the rollout starts.

02:12The AVAC that was registered under monitored release has undergone clinical trials.

02:17It was started last year.

02:20They have been applying for almost two years.

02:23It has been proven 100% safe in efficacious.

02:26For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene Cayang, your witness.
