Taal evacuation linked to swine virus spread

Batangas, recently devastated by the ash spewed by Taal in January, had just confirmed its first case of the swine disease in Laurel town.

“We have already prepared the pits and I understand [the culling] was to start [on Tuesday],” Calinisan said. The case in Laurel was what prompted Lipa City Mayor Eric Africa to order a ban on the entry of live pigs, processed pork and animal feed in the city, with more than a hundred small- and large-scale pig farms.

Calinisan said the local government believed the entry of the virus came with the movement of people and the fact that residents from one town having to share the evacuation center with residents from another. Emilia Bordado, the DA spokes­person in Bicol, said a team of veterinary personnel was dispatched to start the culling of close to a hundred pigs in the villages of Sta. Lucia, Sto. Tomas, San Miguel, San Pantaleon and Sta. Rosa.
