00:00The Department of Agriculture is working hard to avoid the egg supply shortage and to raise its price.
00:08According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr.,
00:12it is impossible to avoid a crisis like the one currently experienced by the United States,
00:18where millions of chickens were infected by bird flu.
00:22Although there is no sign of a bird flu outbreak in the Philippines,
00:25it is expected that the country will still experience an egg shortage in the month of April.
00:31For now, the D.A. is encouraging the importation of chickens
00:35and is also pushing for the immediate approval of the Food and Drug Administration for the Avian Influenza Vaccine.
