Batangas town suffers P100-M losses
Up to 150 barangays nationwide are affected by the African swine fever or ASF as fresh cases were recorded in Batangas and La Union, an official of the Department of Agriculture (DA) announced yesterday.
Agriculture Assistant Secretary and spokesman Arnel de Mesa assured the public that the DA is finding ways to control the ASF outbreak in Batangas amid the expected increase in pork demand during the holidays.
"The ASF outbreak is not only in Batangas. We have at least 150 barangays (infected with ASF), based on the bulletin of the Bureau of Animal Industry," De Mesa said.
The provincial veterinary office of Batangas said among the areas reeling from the ASF outbreaks are Lobo, Calatagan, Lian, Talisay, Rosario and Lipa.
