CAVITE PROVINCE – Cavite is one of the provinces affected by the African Swine Fever (ASF) epidemic which afflicted more than 500 hog raisers in the province with confirmed cases in the cities of Bacoor, Dasmariñas, Imus and Gen. Trias.
Prompted by the situation, Governor Jonvic Remulla sought the aid of the legislative body for the passage of Sangguniang Panlalawigan Resolution No. 1352-2019 which declared the province under the State of Calamity on November 13, 2019 and authorized the release of funds to address the ASF and mitigate its impact.
