Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia discusses issues including measures against the African Swine Fever during the Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority board meeting on August 29 at the MCIAA board room. | Enrique BejarCebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said the Cebu Provincial Government was not taking chances in protecting its P10-billion hog industry.
Garcia recently issued a 100-day ban on the entry of pork and pork-related products from all provinces except with all due clearance from the National Meat Inspection Service .This complements the advisory of the Food and Drug Administration which bans the entry of swine from 20 countries due to the African Swine Fever.
“Aside from these 20 banned countries, there was a recent case of reported swine deaths in a province in Luzon. There were suspicions that they were stricken by ASF. About two or three days ago, the Agriculture Secretary said it was not ASF but would not say what it was so as not to cause panic,” said Garcia during the board meeting.
Garcia asked the MCIAA to notify the airlines that service the MCIA to inform their passengers of the strict measures that the province were taking on the entry of meat.
