The number of dead pigs retrieved from Marikina River rose to 58 on Monday as the African swine fever (ASF) continues to strike fear.

Dr. Manuel Carlos, head of the City Veterinary Services Office , said two more hog carcasses were retrieved from the Barangay Sta. Elena side of the river.

Marikina Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro had earlier said the city government is mulling the filing of civil and criminal charges against those behind improper disposal of the carcasses in the river. But no culprit has been identified yet.
