Gatchalian cites need to monitor pork dishes in school canteens

Gatchalian, chair of the Senate basic education, arts and culture committee, said DepEd should heighten precautionary measures and prevent students’ consumption of ASF-positive pork products following reports that imported processed pork were tested positive for ASF.

“Mahalagang mag-doble ingat ang mga paaralan lalo na’t mahilig ang mga bata sa ganitong klase ng mga produktong positibo sa ASF ,” Gatchalian said in a statement. Earlier, the Department of Agriculture reported that 13 ASF outbreaks were confirmed in four provinces: Pangasinan, Pampanga, Bulacan, and Rizal.

This is scare mongering bullshit, perpetuating the myth that ASF is harmful to humans. It’s not. It’s a complete waste of time to monitor kids lunches or any other end products. Every ounce of budget and effort needs to be spent securing farms, ports, and shipments.
