The grant of the EUA will depend on Marcos, who will decide whether to declare the current ASF outbreak a national emergency, Tiu Laurel said.

"We will study their request, which will give backyard hog raisers greater access to ASF vaccine," he said.

Tiu Laurel said hog farmers have asked for his help in convincing Marcos to approve the EUA for an ASF vaccine manufactured in Vietnam.
