00:00To stop the spread of African Swine Fever in the country,

00:03a lawyer is urging the government to declare a National State of Calamity.

00:07They fear that the supply may run out when the Burmonts arrive.

00:11Tina Panganiban-Perez is pointing that out.

00:16Dead or alive,

00:18some pigs are being buried in Talisay, Batangas

00:22because of African Swine Fever.

00:24Even a hog racer in General Luna, Quezon

00:28who was killed by pigs last July,

00:31is being humiliated while burying his pigs and hogs.

00:36Because of the ASF,

00:37the Animal Quarantine Checkpoint in Calamba, Laguna

00:41is being strictly monitored.

00:43There are also biosecurity and animal checkpoints in Batangas

00:47to prevent the piglets from entering

00:50who may be affected by the ASF.

00:53The Aga Party List is urging the government to declare a National State of Calamity

00:58because the ASF has already spent more than P150 billion in the country.

01:03If there is a State of Calamity,

01:05the local governments will be able to use the Calamity funds

01:08and the government will be able to buy vaccines more quickly.

01:12The solution for now is to give vaccines.

01:16Hopefully, it will cover a large budget.

01:21We have a so-called short-term move.

01:26There is money in the vaccine worth P350 million

01:31that the DA gave.

01:34According to the Aga Party List,

01:36the government needs P6 billion

01:39to vaccinate almost 10 million pigs across the country.

01:43The Agap will urge to include the so-called importance

01:47in the budget for the next year.

01:51Agap also recommended

01:52the Department of Agriculture to increase the indemnification

01:56or payment to the pigs affected by the ASF.

02:00Until this August 8,

02:0264 municipalities from 22 provinces

02:06have active cases of ASF

02:09according to the Aga Party List.

02:11The Aga Party List is worried

02:13that the supply of pork may be insufficient

02:16and it will be expensive when the permits arrive

02:19when the pigs are ready.

02:21It is certain that when the permits arrive,

02:25because of the high demand,

02:27the supply will be insufficient.

02:30The Department of Agriculture confirmed this.

02:34We expect that next year,

02:38the substantial supply of pork will decrease or decrease.

02:44If the supply is short,

02:47it will be balanced by importing the pigs.

02:52But if the sales will increase,

02:55the farmgate price of pork will decrease.

02:58Before, the farmgate price was P220 per kilo.

03:03Now, it's P170 to P180.
