The Cebu provincial government says the actions taken by the Bureau of Animal Industry to contain the African swine fever outbreak was harming the province's hog industry.
CEBU, Philippines – The Cebu provincial government said Monday, April 3, it would file more complaints against personnel of the Bureau of Animal Industry for going against the province’s policies in dealing with the African swine fever outbreak.
“These statements, the effect of these can present then injury against our hog industry, especially our backyard hog raisers,” provincial legal officer Donato Villa said. In response, Garcia criticized the PVMA’s statements for only citing circulars that held no ground against the local government’s autonomy.
On March 21, Garcia issued Executive Order No. 10-2023, lifting all ASF border control measures in the province and nullifying the color-coding scheme. A day later, Garcia issued Memorandum No. 8-2023, allowing only province-approved veterinarians to conduct ASF testing on hogs.
