Transcript

00:00The Agriculture Department and their group of hog producers

00:05denied that the pigs are not sick and that they are being sold to families.

00:09According to the National Hog Federation of Farmers,

00:13they are afraid to choose to eat pigs.

00:17But the DA denied that there is no need to worry because the festival is being held by the Border Consul

00:24and the pigs with ASF are being caught

00:27before they can be sold to the markets.

00:30For example, we can see here that there are 30 pigs on Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City

00:38that were discovered to have ASF.

00:40This is being sold under the condemnation.

00:44Today, more than 200 pigs were caught and were sent to checkpoints.

00:49The controlled vaccination against ASF

00:54Some hog producers want to prove that the price of the vaccine can be reached

01:03because it may increase the price of pork.

01:08ASF is for pigs, so let's not be afraid.

01:11It's been with us for the past four years.

01:14Let's just move places while we don't have a vaccine.

01:17We asked the Department of Agriculture

01:21In case there is a vaccine that can be used by stakeholders,

01:27we hope the price is not as high as the first announcement.

01:34Hopefully, this will be affordable for everyone.

01:37The portion of 400 to 500 pesos is too small.

01:42It's better if the pigs are caught.

01:46If you catch a pig, you have to pay for it.
