14 lechon stores in QC temporarily closed due to ASF scare

Fourteen lechon stores in Quezon City's La Loma district have been temporarily closed by the local government due to an African Swine Fever (ASF) scare.

The closures followed an inspection by the City Veterinary Department (CVD) and the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) which found pigs positive for ASF.

Officials recommended culling the affected pigs to prevent the further spread of the disease.

The Quezon City Business Permits and Licensing Department issued the Temporary Closure Orders based on the recommendations from BAI, CVD, and the City Health Department.
