African Swine Fever is a viral disease that is very contagious. It affects pigs, warthogs and boars. It causes pigs to have a high fever, lose their appetite, and hemorrhages in the internal organs and the skin. Since the emergence of the ASF in the country, demand for pork meat has declined affecting the local swine producers all over the country. To add, some pork products are contaminated with pork meats that are ASF positive.  Amid all of these, you don't need to worry, as African Swine Fever does not affect people and it is not a public health threat or a food safety concern.   You can still eat your favorite  Lechon, Tocino, and other pork products  without any worries unless you are on a diet.

In other countries, Farmers are very rich, because their government prioritize them and supports them. Unlike the situation of our farmers today here in the Philippines Farmers are dying, Lack of Government Assistance This is so common with us, we are an Agricultural Country so why does the government do not prioritize our Agricultural sector, where our poor farmers belongs. Instead they  make our farmers even poorer, specially with the implementation of Rice Tariffication Law. To add, the Agricultural Sector of the country receives the  smallest portion of the national budget.  As a result, Agriculture is dying in our country. Agricultural lands are turned into industrialized areas. The government was not able to enrich the Agricultural Sector of our country. Our local farmers are dying. We are once the leading country in Agriculture but over the years other countries are now better than us, way much better.

Because  they have grown into a misconception from their parents or relatives that taking an Agriculture course is not as noble compared to other courses such as nursing, accountancy and engineering. Little do they know that there are famous Filipinos who are Agriculturist or Agricultural Scientist,if not an Agricultural lawyer. Everybody underestimates Agriculture We all know that it has become a norm to us that if you are taking any related course in Agriculture automatically  it means that you are not good as anybody.
