00:00Quarantine checkpoints are being added in some areas of Luzon to ensure that African swine fever cannot enter their area.

00:07Some children are being urged to declare a national state of calamity if the effect of the ASF spreads.

00:14We have the first news from Jamie Santos.

00:20Lobo Batangas was placed under the state of calamity because of the African swine fever or ASF.

00:28The Department of Agriculture is placing checkpoints to prevent the spread of infected pigs.

00:35They will also conduct mass testing and all pigs that are negative for the test will be taken out of Batangas.

00:43Six towns in Quezon Province are affected by the ASF.

00:47These are the towns of San Andres, Lopez, Makalelon, Mauban, Candelari, and Chaong.

00:54ASF-free or non-monitored ASF in Alabat Island, Humalig, and Patnanungan, Quezon.

01:01In Calamba, Laguna, there is also a quarantine checkpoint inspection for pigs in Barangay Turbina.

01:08In spite of the issue of ASF, according to the Philippine Association of Meat Processors Incorporated or PAMPI,

01:14the issue of ASF has no effect on their products.

01:19In a text message sent to GMA Integrated News of Edwin Africa, one of the directors of PAMPI explained that their raw materials are from ASF-free areas.

01:29They will also implement strict quality control.

01:33But they see that it will have an effect on price and supply.

01:38This is also the effect on the price and supply of the Philippine Amalgated Supermarkets Association or PAGASA.

01:46That is why the Department of Agriculture should ensure that the movement of the price of pork and sliced meat is controlled,

01:53even when the pigs travel.

01:56Due to the lockdown, it is difficult for the pigs to travel.

01:59They are only allowed to pass through Batangas from Bicol or somewhere else.

02:03Why?

02:05They might be subreddited. That is the problem.

02:08In the midst of the issue of ASF and the possible price increase of processed meat,

02:12some people are not afraid to buy and eat pork.

02:17It is possible because there are places that do not have ASF.

02:20We will just choose the products of pork that we will buy.

02:26Of course, the fresh ones. We will just avoid other places.

02:30But there are also people who will avoid buying pork.

02:34I will not eat pork because there are so many pigs that are spreading.

02:39This is the first news. Jaime Santos for GMA Integrated News.

02:55for GMA Integrated News.
