The Department of Agriculture (DA) urges local government units (LGUs) to report the results of the examination of the dead pigs directly to the agency for a more unified approach to the problem. This followed after the deaths of 11 pigs in Bgy. Bagong Silangan, Quezon City were reportedly postive with the African swine fever. Agriculture Secretary William Dar stressed the importance of following protocol to avoid spreading undue alarm to the public.
