Transcript
00:00In addition, the people of Batangas reported a case of African Swine Fever or ASF.
00:06In Quezon City, the pigs that were caught in a checkpoint yesterday were found to be positive for ASF.
00:12Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
00:18It is up to us to discover the pigs that were caught in the checkpoint in Quezon City yesterday.
00:24The pigs that were transported from Sariaya, Quezon, were found to be positive for African Swine Fever or ASF.
00:3187 pigs were in one truck, while 60 were in another.
00:36Another truck with 14 pigs was also found to have symptoms of ASF, but the test result is still pending.
00:43There was no relevant permit and documents for the pigs that were planned to be transported to some provinces in the north.
00:51It is concerning in the sense that it was proven to be positive when it arrived at their destination.
00:59For example, additional pigs will also be bought there.
01:02Viruses spread so easily.
01:05It only shows as well that our suspicions before that travelers are the main source of transmission of the virus,
01:18it is really proven here.
01:20The DA will also add more inspection sites to catch the pigs that have symptoms.
01:26Some of the pigs that were transported are already in the process of being inspected,
01:31but there is nothing they can do if they do not comply.
01:33It is really difficult to transport the pigs to ASF.
01:37Your documents should be complete.
01:40You will not be able to travel as long as your documents are not complete.
01:45According to the DA, it is important to make sure that the supplies are sufficient.
01:50If we do not vaccinate as soon as possible and save the number of pigs,
01:58then there will be a shortage of local pigs.
02:02But of course, there is always the option of importation.
02:05Of course, I don't want to import as much as possible.
02:08In Batangas, which is one of the most affected now, ASF has spread to the town of Balayan and Malbar.
02:14Another town that may also be added to the list as soon as the results of the tests come out.
02:21The problem is just starting.
02:23It's going to be more problems.
02:26But there has been, of course, fast action by the Secretary.
02:32Probably as we talk, another 1,000 or 5,000 are affected.
02:38That is why on Tuesday, the vaccination will start in Lobo, which is considered ground zero in Batangas.
02:45It is called ring vaccination.
02:48So if there is a disease here, you will vaccinate the ring so that it will not spread.
02:5510,000 doses is too small for the whole.
03:00But if we can isolate one, two, three barangays, I think that's helpful already.
03:06But for the group Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines,
03:09the initial 10,000 doses are insufficient compared to those affected by ASF.
03:15In Lobo, that's not enough.
03:18In Taito, it's 10,000.
03:20It was said that the next one will be 600,000 doses.
03:25It's possible to vaccinate those with outbreaks.
03:32But it's still not enough.
03:34That's why I said, for the businesses in the condo to have,
03:39they should declare a national state of calamity.
03:42But the Secretariat insisted that this is not necessary
03:45because the government is ready to buy 600,000 doses of vaccine.
03:50Aside from the vaccination program of the government against ASF,
03:54inspection sites like this will remain until December
03:58if the pork demand is increasing because of the holiday season.
