00:00The Department of Agriculture added more checkpoints inside and outside of Metro Manila
00:04to stop the spread of African Swine Fever.
00:07As many as 188 pigs tested positive for ASF,
00:12which was tried to be eradicated,
00:13but the Bureau of Animal Industry in Quezon City prevented it.
00:16153 more were caught and blood samples were taken last night.
00:21The DA is also working on the clustering of pigs in Lobo, Batangas
00:24to carry out a controlled vaccination.
00:27Once the vaccine is proven effective, it will continue its rollout.
00:31Some hog racers are asking for the price of the vaccine to be as high as possible
00:36because it may increase the price of pigs.
00:39Meanwhile, the Quezon City Local Government has set up a condemnation site
00:44to bury the pigs with ASF.
00:46According to it, more than 200 pigs are being taken care of in Quezon City.
00:51The local government is urging to give up on pigs
00:55because pigs are not allowed to be taken care of in the city.
00:59This is our call for them to self-report.
01:02We will immediately compensate them for their action.
01:06The portion of 400 to 500 pesos is too small.
01:12It's better if the pigs are fed.
01:14Okay?
01:16You get your salary,
01:18you buy a house,
01:20that's still expenses.
01:20We are asking the Department of Agriculture
01:24in case there is a vaccine that can be used by stakeholders,
01:31we hope the price is not as high as the first announcement.
01:38Hopefully, this will be affordable for everyone.
