00:00I expect that there will be 10,000 vaccines against African Swine Fever this coming week.
00:05That's why the Agriculture Department is confident that they can control the spread of ASF.
00:10The agency has also intensified the efforts against ASF.
00:13Details in the report of Clay Zalparadilla.
00:19150,000 vaccines were administered against African Swine Fever that arrived in the Philippines last year.
00:27The vaccines were administered by a Vietnamese company
00:30on the assumption that the Food and Drug Administration would approve it immediately.
00:34However, the expiration was reached in March.
00:38The industry is concerned about the agriculture.
00:41The vaccines that were administered in the controlled vaccination against ASF were used.
00:46They were changed and the expiration of the so-called vaccines was prolonged until December.
00:53That was extended and it can be used.
00:57So we immediately objected to the use because the government will buy it.
01:05It should be changed and there is no assurance that it will have an effect.
01:13The Department of Agriculture will clarify now.
01:16The government will not buy expired vaccine.
01:19They will send a new one.
01:21The vaccine will be good for two years when it arrives.
01:25The DA did not spend any money on expired vaccines.
01:29It should be noted that the vaccination of some private sectors was stopped
01:33because of the absence of a Certificate of Product Registration of the ASF vaccine.
01:3810,000 vaccines against ASF are expected to arrive this week in the province of Batangas
01:44where the State of Calamity has already declared because of the continuous spread of ASF.
01:49Despite this, the wide State of Calamity in the Philippines does not need to be implemented.
01:55According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr.,
01:59he is confident that the ASF will be controlled because of the actions of the agency such as vaccination.
02:06Checkpoints and testing are suspended.
02:09The indemnification fee was increased to 12,000 pesos from 5,000 pesos only.
02:16This will definitely help to control the spread of infected animals.
02:22That is the main reason why ASF spread quickly.
02:26Many farms that have positive cases of ASF only
02:30are placed under lockdown and not the whole country where there is an ASF outbreak.
02:36There are other farms that can harvest pork such as Central Luzon and there are also imported.
02:41That is why the DA is not worried about the price.
