CEBU CITY, Philippines—The clash between the Cebu Provincial Government and the national bureau tasked in regulating livestock movement, over the African Swine Fever here, continues.Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia has threatened the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture that they may face charges if they continue to implement their measures in managing the ASF situation in the province.
The governor made this statement in response to BAI’s recent pronouncement that the deadly swine disease has been detected in five more areas aside from Carcar City, where the first case of ASF was reported.“Our pork is safe. There is no outbreak. What in god’s name is a basis for an outbreak? To declare an ASF outbreak in Cebu is an irresponsible statement,” she said.
During Wednesday’s press conference, Garcia believed that the policy was meant to justify the continued importation of meat products.
