00:00The government has already bought the first 10,000 doses of the vaccine against African Swine Fever or ASF.

00:08The Department of Agriculture also announced that the Philippines will now import white onions,

00:14but it was assured that our farmers will not be affected.

00:18And Sandra Aguinaldo was on the spot.

00:20To show that pork is safe to eat in the country,

00:28Secretary of Agriculture Francisco Tio Laurel and several industry leaders ate lechon.

00:34This is in response to the fear of some people avoiding pork due to African Swine Fever or ASF.

00:41Although there are cases of ASF in various parts of the country,

00:45it can be said that it is isolated or not yet spread.

00:49The good news of the DA is that the government has already bought 10,000 doses of the ASF vaccine.

00:56It is said that it will be given to the hog racers of Batangas.

00:59We will try to inject the 10,000 doses as soon as possible.

01:04Then just to update you, we also have procurement up to 150,000 doses for the next batch.

01:14At the Trade Fair for Poultry, Livestock and Dairy Products,

01:17Laurel also announced that the Philippines will import 16,000 metric tons of white onions

01:25so that the price will be stable.

01:27The six local farmers who plant onions will not be affected.

01:32It should arrive by the end of December so that our farmers will not be affected by their harvest season.

01:38I think by the end of this week or early next week, it will arrive in limited quantity.

01:44It is said that the supply of red onions will be sufficient until March of the next year.

01:48When it comes to rice, the DA's search for a solution continues.

01:53The DA also answered the question of Senator Aimee Marcos,

01:57whether the price of rice is going down even if the tariffs were lowered last July.

02:03I've always said that once you lower tariffs, say July 8 or July 9, the 15 percent duty from 35,

02:12it does not mean that the price will immediately go down.

02:14Because from January to June, rice was imported in large quantities,

02:19so that it will be exhausted by October.

02:21Our target at this point is 29.

02:23The Unicapital Group is the financial services provider

02:27that sees an increase in inflation or a rapid increase in the price of rice

02:31due to the lowering of the tariffs on imported rice.

02:35For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Katutok, 24 Hours.
