00:00In addition, the people of Batangas reported a case of African Swine Fever or ASF.

00:06In Quezon City, the pigs that were caught in a checkpoint yesterday were found to be positive for ASF.

00:12Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

00:18It is up to us to discover the pigs that were caught in the checkpoint in Quezon City yesterday.

00:24The pigs that were transported from Sariaya, Quezon, were found to be positive for African Swine Fever or ASF.

00:3187 pigs were in one truck, while 60 were in another.

00:36Another truck with 14 pigs was also found to have symptoms of ASF, but the test result is still pending.

00:43There was no relevant permit and documents for the pigs that were planned to be transported to some provinces in the north.

00:51It is concerning in the sense that it was proven to be positive when it arrived at their destination.

00:59For example, additional pigs will also be bought there.

01:02Viruses spread so easily.

01:05It only shows as well that our suspicions before that travelers are the main source of transmission of the virus,

01:18it is really proven here.

01:20The DA will also add more inspection sites to catch the pigs that have symptoms.

01:26Some of the pigs that were transported are already in the process of being inspected,

01:31but there is nothing they can do if they do not comply.

01:33It is really difficult to transport the pigs to ASF.

01:37Your documents should be complete.

01:40You will not be able to travel as long as your documents are not complete.

01:45According to the DA, it is important to make sure that the supplies are sufficient.

01:50If we do not vaccinate as soon as possible and save the number of pigs,

01:58then there will be a shortage of local pigs.

02:02But of course, there is always the option of importation.

02:05Of course, I don't want to import as much as possible.

02:08In Batangas, which is one of the most affected now, ASF has spread to the town of Balayan and Malbar.

02:14Another town that may also be added to the list as soon as the results of the tests come out.

02:21The problem is just starting.

02:23It's going to be more problems.

02:26But there has been, of course, fast action by the Secretary.

02:32Probably as we talk, another 1,000 or 5,000 are affected.

02:38That is why on Tuesday, the vaccination will start in Lobo, which is considered ground zero in Batangas.

02:45It is called ring vaccination.

02:48So if there is a disease here, you will vaccinate the ring so that it will not spread.

02:5510,000 doses is too small for the whole.

03:00But if we can isolate one, two, three barangays, I think that's helpful already.

03:06But for the group Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines,

03:09the initial 10,000 doses are insufficient compared to those affected by ASF.

03:15In Lobo, that's not enough.

03:18In Taito, it's 10,000.

03:20It was said that the next one will be 600,000 doses.

03:25It's possible to vaccinate those with outbreaks.

03:32But it's still not enough.

03:34That's why I said, for the businesses in the condo to have,

03:39they should declare a national state of calamity.

03:42But the Secretariat insisted that this is not necessary

03:45because the government is ready to buy 600,000 doses of vaccine.

03:50Aside from the vaccination program of the government against ASF,

03:54inspection sites like this will remain until December

03:58if the pork demand is increasing because of the holiday season.
