Agricultural Sector Alliance of the Philippines Rep. Rico Geron said the ASF threat to the livelihood of millions of Filipinos engaged in hog raising should be addressed immediately by determining whether or not Bureau of Customs authorities continue to allow the entry of canned meat products coming from affected countries, including China.
Geron said that although the Philippines remains safe from ASF , hog raisers still fears that the ASF virus might enter the country. Geron disclosed that Vietnam, HongkOng, Cambodia, China and North Korea are among Philippine neighbors already affected by the ASF. Also affected is Belgium. On the other hand, the Food and Drug Administration issued a Recall and Seizure Order last May in a bid to stop importers from shipping into the country canned meat coming from ASF affected countries.
