THE Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has directed local government units (LGUs) to align their executive orders (EOs) with National Government policy in restricting the movement of live hogs.
The department is monitoring issuances of LGUs in limiting the entry of hogs and pork products to prevent the spread of the African Swine Fever (ASF), because of the potential for inconsistent local policies to delay the flow of goods, Undersecretary Jonathan E. Malaya said.
âAlthough the conscientious efforts of LGUs to mitigate the spread of the ASF in their respective jurisdictions are needed, they still have to ensure that their local policies and directives are aligned and consistent with those of the National Government,â he said in a statement Sunday.

(MANILA BULLETIN)
The DILG had initially set the road clearing operation deadline to Jan. 15 but extended it to Jan. 22 due to the clamor of local government units (LGUs).
The deadline was put off anew after the DILG considered that the LGUs are preoccupied with their preparation for their COVID-19 vaccination plans.
The DILG has issued Memorandum no. 2021-007 tasking the LGUs to come up with a local vaccination plan that contains the preparation of risk communication plans and conduct of early vaccine communication campaign to disseminate critical information on COVID-19 vaccination.
The plan must also include a master list of priority eligible vaccine population; identification of possible vaccine centers, available cold chain storages, and other logistical requirements; and a master list of existing human resources and personnel needed in the vaccination program, among others.
