But in an earlier statement, the BAI said all protocols that it implemented were evidence-based actions and were proven to be the best option until a vaccine against ASF is approved.
“BAI ruled to indiscriminately cull all pigs within 500 meters from the affected area. Worse, the agency did not verify as to where the samples, which allegedly tested positive, came from. They merely alleged that the blood samples were obtained from a slaughterhouse in Carcar in line with the regular ASF surveillance,” she said.
On March 14, Garcia issued a memorandum to stop the culling of pigs pending an analysis of properly secured samples. “BAI also insists that there is an ASF outbreak in the province of Cebu and that culling is the most effective way to contain the virus. This… sweeping statement of the BAI has an immediate impact on the livelihood of the Cebuanos,” she added.
