Salceda, in a statement Saturday, June 3, said that countries like Vietnam, Egypt, and China are already undertaking massive poultry vaccination programs, and that France is doing it in the last quarter of the year. In particular, Salceda suggested for President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. "to constitute an IATF for animal disease".When the Covid-19 pandemic first hit the Philippines, an IATF was activated to oversee all government responses against the contagion.
Salceda identified two "high risk areas" for such a bird flu outbreak: Batangas in Luzon and Cebu in the Visayas.
