00:23Aljo, 11 pigs were tested positive for African Swine Fever
00:31and were taken to the Department of Agriculture in a checkpoint in Malanday, Valenzuela.

00:44The Bureau of Animal Industry quickly saw this and conducted a test.
00:49The Department of Agriculture confirmed that this is positive for ASF.
00:54Another truck passed through Mindanao Avenue last night.
00:57It was reported that ASF was carrying pigs.
01:00They also got a blood sample of the pigs and are waiting for the results.
01:04First, 147 pigs were caught in checkpoints in Quezon City and ASF was confirmed.
01:13The Department of Agriculture was the first to report that the agency
01:18is monitoring the border control to prevent the spread of ASF from the southern part of Luzon.
01:24The National Meat Inspection Service is also conducting a surveillance audit
01:28on the meat establishments in Metro Manila.
01:31They are monitoring the condition and quality of the pigs and meat products
01:35that enter and exit the catays, code storage facility, meat cutting plant, and distribution center
01:42to ensure that there are no pigs that are sick and that they can be sold in the market.
01:47Today, the mass testing of pigs in Batangas, particularly in the town of Lobo,
01:56was started. This is part of the controlled vaccination program of ASF.
