00:00The Department of Agriculture will start next week
00:04to vaccinate the provinces affected by the African Swine Fever.
00:08The hog raisers can't afford to report the abnormal death rate of pigs
00:15for indemnification.
00:17This is Claysel Pardilla in Detail.
00:22It's hard for some traders like Obet to find pigs in Batangas
00:27because of the African Swine Fever.
00:29It's getting worse.
00:30A lot of checkpoints are being blocked.
00:32Before they can reach markets, markets, or restaurants in Metro Manila,
00:37the trucks are already blocking the checkpoints in Sto. Tomas, Batangas.
00:43Binubusisi, if it has a health certificate, proves that it doesn't have an ASF.
00:47They are also looking for a shipping permit so that they can leave the farm.
00:52It's very tight right now because of the disease.
00:56It's very hot.
00:57We need to reach the pigs as soon as possible.
01:01The pigs are breathing.
01:03If the trip is long, we need to go fast.
01:06The DA and the police are also watching the inspection sites in NCR.
01:11In Tandang Sora, Quezon City,
01:1360 pigs were not allowed in the checkpoint.
01:17The documents were blocked.
01:19This delivery truck was also caught in Edsa, Balintawak,
01:23which brought meat products.
01:25I just didn't bring our permit.
01:28Why did you leave your permit?
01:30Our route was blocked.
01:32They just let us deliver here.
01:34I didn't know that there was shipping.
01:36It's like a ping-pong right now in the field.
01:39The travelers will buy cheap pigs in the infected areas
01:46and bring them to the north.
01:47If there is a problem in the north,
01:50they ping-pong in the south.
01:52So what we did is we let them stay in Metro Manila
01:56for 24 hours and we called the police
02:00so that the travelers will not be affected.
02:02More than 200 barangays have cases of ASF in the Philippines.
02:07The vaccination against ASF in Batangas will start tomorrow.
02:12It's not that alarming because the vaccine is on the way.
02:16So hopefully, we can contain this.
02:20Ten thousand vaccines will arrive under the Emergency Procurement.
02:24Public consultations have already started with local officials and hagrazers.
02:29The information related to the vaccine will be made clear.
02:33We have to be very careful.
02:35The pigs should not get sick.
02:39If the pigs are close to him, we will check if the pigs are eating,
02:44if it's not bleeding, then you will get blood.
02:48If we see that it's positive, we will not vaccinate
02:52because we have already been infected.
02:56This medicine will not be effective if there is a pig inside that is sick.
03:04Growers or big pigs that are 4 to 20 weeks old
03:10will get blood from the pigs before and after vaccination.
03:14It will be monitored every 30 days to 2 months
03:17if it can produce antibodies that are similar to ASF.
03:22If the result is positive, the vaccination will continue
03:25and it may be stopped if it is proven ineffective.
03:28The DA is urging hagrazers to report the abnormal death of pigs
03:34to test and pay up to P12,000 indemnification fee
03:39for each pig that will be vaccinated.
