00:00Despite the spread of African swine fever in some provinces and the deaths of thousands of pigs,
00:09the Department of Agriculture's supply of pork has not seen any problems.
00:15This is the concern of the Aga Party List, especially in Burmonks, where there are a lot of preparations.
00:21I haven't seen any perceived shortage.
00:25It's a farm-based lockdown now, not the whole municipality or the whole province.
00:30That's why there will still be movement.
00:33Laurel also said that there is no reason for the price of pork and processed meat to rise.
00:40No reason to increase prices.
00:42Sir, what is the impact of ASF on the processed meat industry?
00:46It should be gone.
00:49So it's the same, there should be no supply shortage and no price increase.
00:54Yes.
00:55The DA raised P150 million for financial assistance to affected hog raisers.
01:02P4,000 will be paid for each pig or small pig,
01:06P8,000 for medium-sized,
01:09and P12,000 for large.
01:11The DA increased the payment so that the sick pigs will not be left out.
01:18The DA expects that next week,
01:20the first batch of 10,000 doses of the vaccine against ASF will be distributed.
01:26P350 million was raised for the 600,000 doses
01:32that the DA will give free to the affected by ASF.
01:37The Aga Party List said that this is not enough.
01:40Because of the backyard hog raisers,
01:42the pigs are being taken care of for P6 million.
01:46The backyard hog raisers cannot afford the 600 pesos vaccine for each pig.
01:52So if we will give free to our backyard hog raisers,
01:56we will need P3.6 billion to buy the vaccine.
