Bohol aids hog raisers affected by African Swine Flu

Bohol's government has distributed financial aid to hog raisers impacted by African Swine Flu (ASF) to help them recover. The assistance aims to support farmers in rebuilding their livelihoods. Governor Aris Aumentado oversaw the distribution of P4.3 million in cash assistance to 357 hog raisers across eight towns. This aid is part of the province's indemnification program, managed by the Office of the Provincial Veterinarian. The governor emphasized the importance of preventing ASF's spread and commended those involved in controlling the virus. Only 15 of Bohol's 48 towns were affected by ASF, with 41 active cases across the province's barangays.
