A request by hog farmers for President Marcos to issue emergency use authorization (EUA) for an African swine fever (ASF) vaccine is being studied, according to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr.
Bella Cariaso

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.
