00:00In Batangas, a confirmed case of African Swine Fever was also discovered.

00:06More than 100 pigs were found in a checkpoint in Quezon City yesterday.

00:14And Bernadette Reyes was able to talk.

00:20It's up to us to find out where these pigs were found in the checkpoint in Quezon City yesterday.

00:27The pigs that were transported from Sariaya, Quezon, tested positive for African Swine Fever or ASF.

00:3387 pigs were in one truck, while 60 were in another.

00:38Another truck with 14 pigs was also tested positive for ASF, but the test result is still pending.

00:46There is no relevant permit and documents for the pigs that are planned to be transported to some provinces in the north.

00:53It's concerning in the sense that it has been proven positive.

00:58When it reaches their destination, for example, additional pigs will be bought there,

01:05it's easy for the virus to spread.

01:07It only shows as well that our suspicions before,

01:14that travelers are the main source of transmission of the virus,

01:22it's really proven here.

01:23The DA will add more inspection sites to catch the pigs that are sick.

01:29Some of the pigs that are transported are already in the process of being inspected,

01:34but there is nothing they can do if they don't follow the rules.

01:36It's really hard for the pigs to travel, to be transported to ASF.

01:40Your documents should be complete.

01:43You can't just travel if you don't have enough documents.

01:48According to the DA, the steps they are taking are important to ensure a sufficient supply.

01:52If we do not vaccinate as soon as possible and save the number of pigs,

02:01then there will be a shortage of local pigs.

02:04But of course, there is always the option of importation.

02:07Of course, I don't want to import as much as possible.

02:10In Batangas, one of the most affected now, ASF has spread to the town of Balayan and Malvar.

02:17Another town may also be added to the list as soon as the results of the tests come out.

02:23The problem is just starting.

02:25It's going to be more problems.

02:28But there has been, of course, fast action by the Secretary.

02:34Probably as we talk, another 1,000 or 5,000 are affected.

02:41That's why on Tuesday, the vaccination will start in Lobo, which is considered ground zero in Batangas.

02:47It's called ring vaccination.

02:51So if there's a patient here, they will vaccinate the ring so that it won't spread.

02:5810,000 doses is too small for the whole.

03:03But if we can isolate one, two, three barangays, I think that's helpful already.

03:08But for the group Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines,

03:11the initial 10,000 doses is not enough for the ASF-affected areas.

03:17In Lobo, it's not enough.

03:20When we died, it was 10,000.

03:22They said that the next one will be 600,000 doses.

03:27It's possible to quickly vaccinate those with outbreaks.

03:34But it's still not enough.

03:36That's why I'm telling you,

03:38so that there will be buyers in the condo,

03:41you need to declare a national state of calamity.

03:44But Kalihim insisted that this is not necessary

03:47because the government is ready to buy 600,000 doses of vaccine.

03:52Aside from the government's vaccination program against ASF,

03:56inspection sites like this will remain until December

04:00if the pork demand is increasing due to the holiday season.

04:04For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes,

04:07for Tutok TV, 24 Hours.
