00:00Before we get to Laloma, Quezon City,
00:03some inspection sites were first passed by a truck carrying pork
00:07to make sure that it's not infected by African Swine Fever.
00:11How is the price of lechon now?
00:14Live from Quezon City, we have the first news from James Agustin.
00:19James.
00:23Good morning.
00:24The price of lechon here in Lechon, the capital of the Philippines,
00:28Laloma, in Quezon City,
00:30the sellers told us that the market is really slow,
00:34especially this month of August.
00:35They are expecting that until the next month.
00:38The pork from the province that will be lechoned here
00:41really went through several inspections before it arrived in Metro Manila.
00:48From Camarines Surang,
00:49200 pigs were transported to Laloma, Quezon City to be lechoned.
00:53Seven inspection sites were passed by a truck.
00:56The last one was in Laloma, where the Bureau of Animal Industry,
01:00City Veterinary Department, and Police were stationed.
01:03In the past, it was easy for pigs to get in and out of the NCR.
01:06Now, it's hard to avoid African Swine Fever or ASF.
01:10It's really hard to travel with pigs now,
01:13to do the ASF.
01:14Your papers should be complete.
01:18You can't travel if you don't have enough papers.
01:23First, we blood sample the pigs,
01:27four days before we get the results.
01:30Then, we get the shipping,
01:34and the vet health.
01:36The sellers of lechon favor this kind of restriction.
01:39That's why the price of lechon went down.
01:41The cheapest was P5,000 for 4 to 6 kilos.
01:45P15,000 for 24 to 25 kilos.
01:48Sometimes we can sell it, sometimes we can't.
01:53It depends.
01:54The season this August is really bad.
01:57It's really hard to get a pig.
01:59It's really tight.
02:00You need a lot of documents to provide.
02:05Maricar bought a lechon early,
02:07which they will be lechoning,
02:08for his mother's 60th birthday celebration today.
02:12I think it's okay.
02:14Because?
02:15It's safe.
02:16Not all pigs are like that.
02:19For us, it's safe.
02:20Of course, we bought it a few times here.
02:22They won't sell it to us
02:24when we're sick, right?
02:26That's also what the sellers
02:28assure their mothers.
02:30It's guaranteed that our pigs are clean.
02:32There's no disease.
02:33People won't worry.
02:35Because our pigs are secured.
02:38They have documents.
02:39They went through quarantine.
02:41They got a blood sample.
02:46Susan, those who deliver pigs here told us
02:49that in the past, it would only take 1-2 days
02:52for the pigs to arrive here.
02:54Now, it takes 3-4 days.
02:56It depends on how far the province is.
02:58Because there are a lot of inspection sites
03:01that they need to pass through.
03:02The inspection sites,
03:03for example, here in Laloma,
03:05inside Metro Manila,
03:06are 24 hours.
03:07The authorities are watching.
03:09That's the first news from Quezon City.
