A meaningful radio guesting was held on August 13, 2026, at Radyo Pilipinas, hosted by Ms. Edna Bagadiong, featuring our Provincial Veterinarian, Dr. Ramil I. Evangelista, and Agriculturist I, Mark Lorenz O. Alcantara.

The discussion focused on the African Swine Fever (ASF) situation, including its current status, signs and symptoms, and the necessary documents and requirements for the entry and movement of swine, pork products, and other pork-related products.

This information campaign is part of our continued efforts to raise awareness among livestock raisers, traders, consumers, and the general public on the importance of ASF prevention and biosecurity measures.

We also acknowledge the strong support of our Provincial Governor, Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, in the implementation and strengthening of ASF biosecurity measures in the province. Through collaboration, responsible practices, and public awareness, we can help protect our swine industry and prevent the spread of ASF. 🐷🛡️

Let us all do our part in keeping our province ASF-free!

🐷 MAHIGPIT NA BIOSECURITY, PINAIIGTING NG PAMAHALAANG LOKAL NG CATANDUANES LABAN SA AFRICAN SWINE FEVER (ASF)

Sa pangunguna ni Gobernador Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, patuloy na pinaiigting ng Pamahalaang Lokal ng Catanduanes ang mahigpit na pagpapatupad ng mga biosecurity measures at border control upang maprotektahan ang ating hog industry at maiwasan ang pagpasok at pagkalat ng African Swine Fever (ASF) sa lalawigan.

Katuwang ang Provincial Veterinary Office, mga Municial Agriculture Office, livestock technicians, quarantine personnel, at iba pang katuwang na ahensya, pinapaigting ang pagbabantay sa mga pantalan, pagsusuri sa mga kargamento at dokumento, at pagpapatupad ng mga kinakailangang quarantine protocols.

Bilang bahagi ng hakbang na ito, pinahihigpit ang pagbabantay at inspeksyon sa mga entry points ng lalawigan, partikular sa mga hayop, karne, feeds, kagamitan at iba pang maaaring maging daan ng pagkalat ng ASF.

🛡️ Ang biosecurity ay responsibilidad nating lahat. Hinihikayat ang mga hog raisers, traders, transporters at lahat ng mamamayan na makiisa at mahigpit na sumunod sa mga umiiral na patakaran at regulasyon.

Ang maagap na pagkilos at mahigpit na border control ay mahalagang hakbang upang mapanatiling ligtas ang ating mga alagang baboy, maprotektahan ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magbababoy, at mapanatili ang seguridad sa industriya ng paghahayupan sa Catanduanes.

Bawat isa ay may papel sa pagpigil sa ASF. Sama-sama nating protektahan ang Catanduanes! 🐖💪

DA-RFO V, in partnership with BAI and FAO, strengthened the preparedness of the Bicol Region against animal diseases through the successful conduct of the Local Animal Disease Detection and Emergency Response (LADDER) Training held on July 20–23, 2026 in Legazpi City, Albay.

The training aimed to enhance the capabilities of veterinarians, agricultural extension workers, and livestock program implementers in early disease detection, reporting, and response—under the Resilient Philippines Project of the Pandemic Fund.

Over four days, participants from various Bicol provinces engaged in lectures and hands-on training on risk analysis, disease surveillance, biosecurity measures, and proper sample collection and laboratory procedures. Experts also shared valuable field experiences on African Swine Fever (ASF) and avian influenza response.

This training was attended by our Provincial Veterinarian Dr. Ramil I. Evangelista, DVM, together with his staff Ms. Lorena M. Tolentino and John Paul Tomanlao.

We would like to thank our Provincial Governor Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza for the unwavering support to attend this training.
