00:00The Department of Agriculture has laid out the measures for the vaccination of pigs against African Swine Fever.
00:09In addition, there will be additional inspection sites against ASF.
00:13Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
00:16To prevent the spread of ASF, the vaccination program will start on Tuesday.
00:22Tomorrow, the Bureau of Animal Industry will go to Batangas, where eight ASF-affiliated towns are located.
00:29Here, the agencies will lay out the measures for the vaccination.
00:32The vaccine is free. It's voluntary.
00:35That's why the pigs will not be forced to be vaccinated.
00:40We will lay down the rules of engagement.
00:43We cannot say, here, we will vaccinate you. No. We have to get the blood.
00:48We will talk to the technical people in Batangas.
00:52We will not vaccinate you right away. Again, we have to be very careful.
00:57First, the medicine will only be injected to pigs that are not sick.
01:00It cannot be injected to breeders or to those who have been vaccinated.
01:05It must also be monitored every 30 to 60 days on the reaction of the pigs to the vaccine.
01:11When we see that they are positive, we will not vaccinate them because we are already looking for diseases.
01:17This medicine will not have an effect if there is an internal disease of the pig.
01:24According to the DA, 600,000 doses of the vaccine are expected to arrive in the country.
01:29It's not that alarming because the vaccine is on the way.
01:33So, hopefully, we can contain this.
01:37But of course, it will not be easy, but we will do our best.
01:42Inspection sites will be added to prevent other places from contracting ASF.
01:47This inspection site here in Malanday, Valenzuela,
01:51will be the last control point here in Metro Manila
01:53before the pigs can be transported to nearby provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, and Tarlac,
01:59where a wide repopulation is currently taking place.
02:02At the checkpoint in Tandang Sora, Quezon City,
02:0560 pigs from Sariaya, Quezon were brought to Caloocan, Nakumpisca,
02:10due to pecking documents.
02:12It also does not have a shipping permit from home.
02:15For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
