00:00Contra-African Swine Fever was vaccinated in Lobo, Batangas.
00:06In the middle of it, the authorities were worried about the possibility of selling the vaccine online.
00:14Bernadette Reyes pointed out.
00:19More than 40 pigs were vaccinated at the first site of Controlled Vaccination Contra-African Swine Fever or ASF in Lobo, Batangas.
00:28Those who were vaccinated will be tested again after 14 days.
00:32Once the pigs are vaccinated, they will produce antibodies.
00:37The pigs are ready to fight against ASF.
00:41We're very hopeful that the vaccine will work and we can protect our industry.
00:48150,000 doses of the vaccine that was part of the program, which cost Php 300 million, will be delivered to other places.
00:58Eventually, the red zones will be vaccinated.
01:02The public is worried about the vaccines that can be sold online.
01:06Please report to us that we will only give one approved vaccine for ASF.
01:13Others are still undergoing clinical studies.
01:17Even though the vaccination is already rolling out, the price of pigs is still falling.
01:21On June 7, only 32 barangays have active cases of ASF in the country.
01:27The price of pigs varies from Php 305 to Php 420 per kilo.
01:32But now, the number of barangays with active cases of ASF has risen to Php 458.
01:37The price of pigs has fallen and there is already a price of Php 260 per kilo.
01:44We went to the market to buy pigs because the prices are really high.
01:48We're just telling our customers not to go to the market to buy pigs.
01:52Not everyone has a pig farm. It's not healthy.
01:54The Agri Department was the first to ensure that the pigs sold in the market are safe.
01:59The NMIS should always look for a place where we can buy from the market, grocery, or supermarket.
