00:00The vaccination against African Swine Fever in Batangas will start on Friday,

00:06along with the strict surveillance of the borders.

00:09First news is from Bernadette Reyes.

00:15From the 24 barangays on May 17,

00:19almost 500 barangays were affected by African Swine Fever or ASF.

00:25The pigs were left on the ground,

00:28causing the rain to pour down,

00:30causing the ASF to spread to other areas, according to the Department of Agriculture.

00:34Aside from this, there are also those who travel with sick pigs.

00:38476 pigs were condemned by the Bureau of Animal Industry

00:43after being caught at checkpoints.

00:46If we look at June 7,

00:49there were also cases in Mid-Danao,

00:53but not yet.

00:55We don't have an example of North Cotabato.

00:58But when it started in North Cotabato, it suddenly increased.

01:01As of August 21,

01:08the number of active cases was at 458.

01:14The biggest thing here is the movement of travelers

01:17who buy infected pigs and sell them at a low price.

01:22The barangays with ASF are the largest in Batangas, Occidental Mindoro and Cotabato.

01:28Checkpoints are being added to the possibility of pigs being infected.

01:32That's why on the first border,

01:35the LGUs should be on duty

01:38so that when it comes to the second border,

01:41the NCR that we set up,

01:43we can catch the people infected on their first border.

01:49Controlled vaccination will also start on Friday, August 30 in Lobo, Batangas,

01:53one of the first towns affected by ASF in the province.

01:58Despite the high number of ASF cases,

02:01the DA assured that the supply of pigs is sufficient now.

02:04However, the price of chickens is increasing due to the increasing demand.

02:08In the last price monitoring of the DA,

02:10the price of a kilo of chicken reached P240

02:14for some families in Metro Manila.

02:17A large percentage of our consumers

02:20moved from pork to chicken.

02:23Again, it's the law of supply and demand that's happening.

02:27But I will repeat, our government has a reason

02:31because there is an importation of chickens.

02:35This is the first news.

02:36Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.

02:46See you tomorrow on GMA TV and www.gmanews.tv.
