00:00The province of Quezon is also on alert against African Swine Fever.
00:04It is possible that the State of Calamity is declaring a state of emergency.
00:07Aisaya Mirafuentes is the center of the news.
00:13The province of Quezon is already considering
00:16to put the whole province under the State of Calamity.
00:20This is in accordance with the continuous increase of cases of African Swine Fever in the whole province.
00:26So for now, out of 41 LGUs, only 8 LGUs have confirmed cases.
00:33The province believes that a big reason for the increase of cases in their ESF
00:38is the continuous increase of cases in Batangas.
00:41In our data, 171 farmers have reported that they have ESF
00:51and 1,097 total pigs have been depopulated.
00:56No vaccine has yet arrived in the province,
00:59but the province is still trying to avoid their entry points.
01:03What we are doing here is we are checking the papers
01:08to see if their papers are legit.
01:12They are also ensuring disinfection.
01:14AgriPartylist Congressman Wilbert Manoy Lee believes
01:19that the pigs affected by the outbreak should be helped.
01:22Even if there are 10,000 pigs, they should be vaccinated.
01:30It is also important that the government's priority is to vaccinate the pigs.
01:34We are preparing what we need to vaccinate next year.
01:40But I am pushing for testing because I know that there is still testing for pigs.
01:48Meanwhile, the province of Quezon is calling for complete legal requirements
01:54for all pigs in their province.
