00:00More cases of African Swine Fever have been added in some areas.
00:04To stop this, the Department of Agriculture will start the vaccination of pigs next Sunday.
00:11This is the latest news for tonight.
00:18The Provincial Veterinary Office of Laguna confirmed that they have detected cases of African Swine Fever.
00:24It was detected in a barangay in San Pablo City, two barangays in Calamba City and Nagcarlan
00:30where disinfectants are distributed to affected areas.
00:33In Calamba, trucks, closed vans and other vehicles are being blocked.
00:38There is no veterinary health certificate, local shipping permit, livestock handler's license and transport carrier accreditation.
00:46There is no paper. We are asking them to return to their home town.
00:51Aside from Calamba, there are also four inspection sites in Quezon City, including the LALOMA,
00:56which is also the Lechon Capital of the Philippines, and also in Santo Tomas, Batangas and Alfonso, Cavite.
01:02Biosecurity measures and quarantine protocols in Davao Occidental are also being implemented.
01:08Instead of total depopulation, test and destroy, the Provincial Veterinary Office is implementing this to pigs with ASF.
01:16This means that all pigs that enter 500 meters from pigs with ASF will be tested.
01:22If it is positive, it will be placed under the culling.
01:25This is a big threat to the pigs.
01:28So to avoid losses, some are selling each pig for 1,000 pesos.
01:35You should know that the virus will not pass to humans, but it spreads quickly to pigs.
01:41Among its symptoms are high fever, loss of appetite, red skin, and internal organs damage.
01:49Pigs can die within two to ten days if it is positive for ASF.
01:55So to avoid the spread of ASF, the Department of Agriculture in Martez will start the vaccination or vaccination of pigs.
02:04The DA is procuring the needed vaccine in our emergency procurement system.
02:09But it will take up to September, the first week of September before it can be obtained in the process of our bureaucracy.
