00:00The permit is being inspected and the pigs are being placed in the well-known Lechon market in Quezon City.

00:06This is to ensure that no one will be infected with the African Swine Fever.

00:11Vel Custodio is in the center of the news.

00:15Arnold went through 10 meat inspection checkpoints from Camarines Sur to deliver the supply of pigs.

00:22We are complete, ma'am, even though we just arrived.

00:26We have all the papers.

00:28Yes, it's complete. We have a vaccine, ma'am.

00:30That's why he didn't stay long at the checkpoints.

00:34He was taken to Mark's Lechon market in Laloma, Quezon City.

00:38Even though he is responsible for processing the documents following the inspection,

00:43he understands this because he values the safety of the consumers from the meat that has symptoms of the African Swine Fever.

00:52We are business owners here, especially travelers who are hugging.

00:58We have a hard time because there are too many pigs.

01:01The necessary papers are very expensive.

01:04It's more important to ensure the quality of the pigs and to ensure that the people are safe.

01:10According to the president of the Lechoneros Association in Laloma, William Chua,

01:14the checkpoints were not in violation and there was a delay in the delivery of the supply.

01:19It will help our industry more.

01:21The lechon meat will be protected from the contamination of the ASF.

01:29We will show the consumers that it is safe to buy this.

01:34Even though the ASF has a problem, the supply of lechon meat is still stable for the demand of customers.

01:41Of course, our source says that the number of pigs is still the same.

01:49We also heard that there will not be a total depopulation of a province if there is a discovery of ASF.

01:59There is also no change in the price of lechon compared to last month.

02:04As part of the inspection of livestock, poultry and meat products,

02:08to find out if the ASF has symptoms, especially the pigs that are being transported,

02:13there is a need for a shipping permit to show the drivers.

02:17The number of pigs on the permit is also being checked.

02:21Led by the Kawanina Bureau of Animal Industry, City Veterinary Department,

02:26the police and barangay are conducting the meat inspection in Laloma.

02:29We are trying to avoid the ASF from spreading.

02:34We are sending all the meat that will be exported to Quezon City.

02:41Based on the latest announcement of the Bureau of Animal Industry,

02:45the 24-hour meat inspection can only last until December.

02:49There are five inspection sites in Quezon City, including Laloma, which is one of the boundaries of QC and Manila.

02:55There are also checkpoints scattered in some parts of Manila and Valenzuela City.

03:00Checkpoints outside the NCR are also scattered, such as in Quezon Province, Laguna, Batangas and Cavite.
