ASF has decimated swine farming industries in many countries throughout the world. Since the first recorded ASF outbreak in the Philippines in July 2019, the virus has caused a 50% to 70% decline in the swine population, resulting in an estimated P100 billion annual losses. Compounding this is the fact that hogs account for approximately 55% of the total animal industry in the country.

Last May 10, 2021, former president Rodrigo Duterte signed Proclamation 1143, officially declaring the Philippines under a state of calamity due to continuing spread of ASF. The current strain is particularly virulent and malignant, killing all infected pigs in the same vicinity within 7 to 14 days. With the death toll at currently more than three million hogs, the temptation to use dubious and untested vaccines from unsanctioned sources has been growing for desperate farmers.

To date, KPP Powers has already applied for a special permit to the Philippine Food and Drug Administration and is ready to commence local trials. “We are very hopeful that the FDA will recognize the gravity of the current emergency situation. We are also heartened by the fact that President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. is concurrently the Secretary of Agriculture, and we firmly believe that he will support our efforts” Robles shared.
