14VI PRIVILEGE HOUR
15
16SPM DE GUZMAN: Thank you Mr. Presiding Officer. A pleasant afternoon to all of us, to our dear
17 Vice Governor, my dear colleagues in this August Hall and to our guests and staff in the
18 gallery.
19
20 Don’t be alarmed as today is not about millions of questions. I rise today Mr. Presiding
21 Officer with a grieving heart. I join my barangay mates and the bereaved family mourns for
22 the lost lives of 3 children and so this speech is about and for them.
23
24 Yesterday, it was reported over the radio of a news where 3 children; a male-twin, 4-year-
25 olds and their sister, 2 year-old who died of drowning incident at a river located at Barangay
26 Pugo, Bauang, La Union.
27
28 Yes, Mr. Presiding Officer, in my own barangay and indeed it was so tragic.
29
30 There is an on-going dredging operations in that said river, spearheaded by the Department
31 of Public Works and Highways. As per interview over the radio, the Punong Barangay
32 admitted that he knew of this project and that the DPWH people made a courtesy call to him
33 regarding this dredging operation which had started almost 2 weeks already. The dredging
34 operation is to deepen the river to avoid overflowing and flooding the community during
35 rainy season.
36
37 Yes, Mr. Presiding Officer, it is this part of the river, where the father found the lifeless
38 bodies of his 3 children. As per report, said part of the river is already almost 10ft deep.
39
40 Yes, it would be very easy to fault the parents for negligence as it should be their
41 responsibility to take care, secure and keep safe their children from danger…..but my point
42 here Mr. Presiding Officer, since this is a government operation, aside from informing the
43 community, there should have been a barricade, a warning fence or barrier or a warning
44 sign that swimming or playing near the river is dangerous.
45
46 Actually, this reminds me of that Supreme Court case, Atty. Rey Mosuela was mentioning
47 before, that LGUs shall be liable for damages for the death of, or injuries suffered by, any
48 person by reason of its negligence. I don’t know if this could be applicable in this case.
49
50 Yes, children of their age could not have read said warning signs but if there were sufficient
51 barrier or fence that would keep children out of the dredging site, there could be a possibility
52 that the lives of the children might have been saved.
53
54 Last week Mr. Presiding Officer this August Body approved on third reading the Road
55 Warning Safety Device Ordinance, mandating all contractors to provide warning devices on
56 all on going road constructions or road projects…..this is to warn the public and therefore
57 avoid accidents….perhaps it is also high time that we enact an ordinace compelling
58 government agencies and contractors to install warning fences on on-going government
59 constructions, operations and/or projects.
60
61 I know this is not the proper body to determine if the DPWH or even the barangay is at fault
62 or negligent in this case. But then again my purpose of bringing this matter to this August
2
3
4
 1 Journal 08-25-2020, Page 4

1 Body’s attention is that this is a matter of public safety…this practice of DPWH or any
2 contractor for that matter, be it construction of roads and bridges or dredging operations that
3 they blatantly disregard the safety of the people, that they do not put into mind that when
4 they left an on-going project with no warning signages, no barricades, no one, nobody to tell
5 the people not to go there – there could be a possibility of an accident, a very tragic accident
6 ----this practice has to be stopped, Mr. Presiding Officer. This is not too dramatic but what if,
7 who drowned in that river were our own children or the children of the people who
8 implemented the project.
9
10 I know there are rules governing the safety and security of the people in an on-going project
11 of the DPWH, thus may I pray, Mr. Presiding Officer that this matter be referred to the
12 appropriate committee or committees for proper investigation and to find out if there was
13 blatant negligence on the part of the concerned government offices and also to explore if
14 there is a need of a policy to regulate these activities for the safety and security of the
15 public.
16
17 My heart bleeds and mourns with the bereaved family. It is already tragic when a loved one
18 is lost through an accident, all the more 3 children at once. We pray for their souls and that
19 they find eternal rest and peace in God’s embrace. If in their passing, we can craft a policy
20 for public safety, then the work is at hand. Thank you very much, Mr. Presiding Officer.
21
22VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So the matter is referred to your committee.
23
24SPM DE GUZMAN: Thank you sir.
25
26VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Next, Hon. Jennifer Mosuela-Fernandez.
27
28SPM MOSUELA-FERNANDEZ: To Honorable Vice- Governor our Presiding Officer Honorable Vice
29 – Govenor Mario Eduardo C. Ortega , to the Members of this August Body, friends, ladies
30 and gentlemen.
31
32 Rosella Noto Macuroy was only 41 years old when she passed to the great beyond on
33 August 15, 2020. A fish vendor, she was a hard working wife and a mother. At around 3:00
34 o’clock at dawn at August 15, 2020 she boarded a motorized Bangka at the Amburayan
35 River to go to the Bangar Public Market. Somewhere within the jurisdiction of Barangay
36 General Terrero, an accident happen. Allegedly, a speeding motorized Bangka from
37 upstream bumped the motorized she was riding. It was dark and it was inly later on that
38 rescuers found the lifeless body at sea.
39
40 She would still be alive today if Ordinance No. 059-294 enacted by this August Body on July
41 31, 2014 is seriously being enforced by all concerned. The ordinance mandates all
42 operators and passengers of water craft to use life vests while sailing in any body of water
43 within the jurisdiction of the province.
44
45 In this regard, Mr. Presiding Officer and the Honorable Members of this August Body, I
46 propose the passage of legislative mesure urging all law enforcement officers and the
47 authorities concerned in the component LGU’s to strictly enforce this ordinance. The
48 intention of which is the safety of our constituents. With a lifevest, we could avert the loss of
49 another Rosella Noto Macuroy.
50
51 Thank you so much for your time. May I request also Mr. Presiding Officer and to the August
52 Body that we extend burial assistance to the bereaved family of Rosella Macuroy.
53
54VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: It is with great sympathy and condolence hearing the events that happen in
55 Bangar. What you would want is a resolution to enjoin the different agencies to strictly
56 enforce. I think the one enforcing it along the seashore is the coast guard. Of course, the
57 other LGU’s will be furnished.
58
59SPM MOSUELA-FERNANDEZ: Thank you Mr. Presiding Officer.

18 good afternoon. Ladies and gentlemen naimbag nga malem.
19
20 Nakakalungkot yong dalawang naunang privilege speech. Opo, buhay poi to tungkol sa
21 buhay at magbibigay inspirasyon sa ating lahat.
22
23 Last night, Vice President Leni Robredo delivered her speech entitled Ulat at Mungkahi Ukol
24 sa Pambansang Ekonomiya at Mensahe Para Sa Pamumuno at Pagkakaisa ni VP Leni
25 Robredo.
26
27 Sa mga comments through social media, disregarding comments from trolls, marami ang
28 namangha, may naiyak pa daw. For me, parang marami ang nauhaw at heto dumating ang
29 tubig. The speech was done in 20 minutes with clarity, competence and compassion and on
30 time as per announcement.
31
32 Part of her speech is, I quote, “Malinaw na handang sumagwan ang lahat; ang kulang na
33 lang, ‘yung magtututok sa atin sa dapat nating kapuntahan. ‘Yung magtitimon.
34
35 Hindi mahirap unawain ang sentimyento ng marami: Na para bang walang timon, walang
36 direksyon, walang malinaw na horizon kung kailan at paano masosolusyonan ang
37 pandemya.”
38
39 Mr. Presiding Officer, iyan ay sa pambansang sitwasyon dahil dito sa ating probinsya we
40 have our competent and compassionate timon, our Governor Pacoy assisted by by his co-
41 pilot, another seasoned, competent and compassionate Vice Governor Mario.
42
43 Isa pang sinabi ni VP Leni ay “Malinaw sa huling datos na agrikultura ang pinaka-resilient na
44 sektor ng ating ekonomiya.” Tama! Tumpak! Swak na Swak ang Vision ng province natin to
45 Make La Union as the heart of Agri-Tourism in Northern Luzon by 2025. By this time ang
46 mga magsasaka na binigyan ng probinsya ng mga buto ng mga gulay noong kakaumpisa
47 pa lang ng community quarantine, kasama na rin ang mga marami na nagkainteres
48 magtanim ngayon ay marami na silang ani, sa sariling tanim na sila kumukuha ng pang-
49 ulam. Salamat sa agaran at nauukol na aksiyon ng PGLU! Isa lang iyan sa mga
50 magagandang immediate response ng province. Our province is blessed to have TIMONS
51 na magkaiba man ang kulay noong panahon ng eleksiyon pero after that ay nagkakaisa
52 para sa kabutihan ng buong probinsiya. Salamat din sa mga work force na buong tapang,
53 buong pusong nakikiisa, nakikipagtulungan, uma-ambag.
54
55 Nagpintas diay post ti PGLU FB page, TOGETHER WE CAN BUILD A PROVINCE WORTH
56 LIVING IN, nga diay picture ni governor ket nakadeppa, kas man maysa nga agila nga
57 nagmayat ti panagampayag na.
58
59 With this Mr. Presiding Officer, I hope I have inspired my dear colleagues, the SP
60 employees in the gallery at pati na rin ang ating mga kagalang-galang na mga bisita.

30
31VII QUESTION HOUR
32
33MR. MENDOZA: First of all I would like to thank this Honorable Body for inviting us to enlighten you
34 on the use of Hypochlorous acid and after this I’m assuring that you have now a better
35 option for a disinfectant solution.
36
37 This is in relation to the privilege speech of the Hon. Jonathan Orros regarding the use of
38 the misting machine. Here in the PGLU, in the capital ground, we have installed two misting
39 machines and we believe during the early days of this pandemic, the DOH and DILG don’t
40 have yet the guidelines. Actually they did not ban the use of misting machine in totality. They
41 still allow it to be used in hospitals and an isolation facility for those personnel’s who were
42 wearing full PPE suit without skin exposures. Because they believe that the disinfectant
43 being used in those machines are dangerous. Before anything else, we would like to
44 reiterate that the misting chamber is an extra precaution. We put emphasis on the word
45 extra because it is not a substitute to good personal hygiene, hand washing, sanitizing,
46 cough etiquette, it is not a substitute. But it is an extra precaution that we incurving the
47 spread of the infection.
48
49 Misting or fogging is another type of application of disinfecting. Para lang po siya na inispray
50 natin yong alcohol sa kamay natin. It’s just that here, yong buong tao po yong inaano natin
51 when he/she pass through the disinfection chamber. Now, ang problema lang po dito is
52 yong ginagamit natin. Bakit siya nagiging dangerous? It’s because of the used of dangerous
53 infectant solution.
54
55 In the early days of Covid and this pandemic we use bleach and chlorine granules dissolved
56 in water. So yon po yong nagiging problema natin which is very dangerous. It is irritating to
57 the eyes and the respiratory system. So now, when there is available safe and effective
58 disinfectant na pupuwede nating gamitin then the misting machine now becomes useful.
59 Hindi na siya nagiging dangerous. It is largely dependent only on the disinfectant used.
60
61 The reports on deaths and injuries cause using this disinfectant chambers are cause by
62 using concentrated solution of bleach and chlorine. And I think kung bakit po ni-reiterate ulit
2
3
4
1 Journal 08-25-2020, Page 7

1 ni DOH at DILG yong pag stop sa paggamit ng mga misting machines is because yong
2 death po ng police officer na naisprayan ng concentrated solution ng chlorine. But misting
3 machines are used in Vietnam. One of the countries with the lowest cases of Covid-19. And
4 in the early days of this pandemic, it is being installed by various LGU’s in Manila, around
5 the country. The logic of using the misting machine is also embedded in the infomercials of
6 the DOH. Yong pagpalit agad ng damit kapag uwi. It’s because there are studies na
7 nagsasabi na pupuwedeng mag stay yong virus or yong microbes sa inanimate objects like
8 the cloth, yong leather ng belt natin, yong watch natin, I think that is the logic of using the
9 misting chamber. If we have a safe and effective disinfectant, the misting machine now
10 become useful in curbing the spread of the infection. We will reiterate again, I think the Hon.
11 Jonathan Orros has already mention about the hypochlorous acid. To give you a quick run
12 through of what is hypochlorous acid and how effective it is.
13
14 What is hypochlorous acid? Hypochlorous acid with chemical formula HOCL. The chemical
15 formula is very similar with water. With just one hydrogen atom replaced by chlorine. It is a
16 weak acid. A very simple molecule and with that characteristic it is a powerful oxidant that it
17 is effective against invading bacteria, fungi and viruses by means of substitution and
18 oxidation.
19
20 Hypochlorous acid is uncharged and has relatively low molecular weight. It is better abled
21 that other chlorine species that penetrate microbial cell walls. For our information,
22 hypochlorous acid is 80 to 100 times more effective than our usual bleach or chlorine
23 granules. That is why we can use it at a very dilute solution. Actually, effective concentration
24 po ng hypochlorous acid is 50 ppm. That’s 50 parts per million. And what we are using, I
25 think you have a machine here that produce hypochlorous acid. What we are producing
26 here is 100 parts per million. The highest concentration that it can produce is 200 parts per
27 million. From 50 to 200 parts per million concentration of hypochlorous acid, these are the
28 effective concentration. They are very dilute, yet they are very effective disinfectant.
29
30 Hypochlorous acid is naturally found inside the body. Its produce by neutrophil, cells of the
31 immune system. What is the difference of Hypochlorous acid with bleach? The difference
32 lies in its chemistry, in the pH of the solution in which it is present. At pH 4 to 7, yong simple
33 bleach natin, kasi ang bleach po natin is basic po siya, we adjust the pH and then ang
34 magiging dominant species na po natin doon is hypochlorous acid which is more effective
35 than chlorine. And sodium hypochloride, yon po yong mga bleach natin.Sodium
36 hypochloride, Calcium hypochloride. But when we adjust the pH, tataas po yong
37 concentration ni hypochlorous acid. Ayon po yong ginagamit na principle po ni machine
38 natin sa may Mabanag na paggawa ng Hypochlorous acid. Actually we have three methods
39 of production of Hypochlorous acid. First, we can dissolve chlorine gas in water to produce
40 Hypochlorous acid. But that’s dangerous because chlorine gas as it is very toxic. Then we
41 have the electrolysis of saline solution. The problem with this one is sodium chloride lang po
42 yong gagamitin natin and then you pass it through a electrolytic chamber then you’ll
43 produced Hypochlorous acid. But the problem with this is you cannot produce large
44 quantities. Unlike with the acidification of hypochloride, you have sodium hypochlorite and
45 you acidify it with hypochloric acid. May machine po tayo na gumagawa noon. Siya na po
46 yong gagawa ng solution and then you have serious water or the hypochloric acid solution.
47
48 Kung bakit po hindi siya ganoon kasikat si Hypochlorous acid as disinfectant and hindi siya
49 commercially available. Wala po siya sa shelves ng groceries and ng drug stores is because
50 of its instability. Very unstable po si Hypochlorous acid. That’s why kelangan siyang i-
51 produce on site for us to make use of its disinfectant power. Kelangan palagi siyang freshly
52 produced so that’s why we always remind the people doon po sa kumukuha sa Mabanag
53 and the personnel ng Kapitolyo na we can only use the Hypochlorous acid solution up to
54 seven days lang. Because very unstable nga po, nagde-degrade siya eventually as time
55 goes by.
56
57 Comparing Hypochlorous acid with common disinfectants used in hospitals and in
58 households, malawak po yong anti-microbial spectrum ni Hypochlorous acid. From four
59 forming bacteria, these are bacteria na napak tough, they are the toughest bacteria to yeast
60 like fungus common bacteria. Kaya niya pong patayin and we have studies also to prove
61 that. Ito po yong mga table but run down lang po doon sa e-coli, yong mga usual standards
62 natin when we test for disinfection. E-coli staff, mga bacteria po not one minute. Less than to
2

 1 Journal 08-25-2020, Page 8

1 the detection limit na yong after application ng Hypochlorous acid. Usually sa virus, doon sa
2 mga limes, yong mga ginamit nilang strains here are from livestock’s and poultry. And then
3 we have the veridical effect. One of our colleague in Taiwan who bottles Hypochlorous acid.
4 Because in Taiwan they are able to bottle it and sell it. Actually, it is available in Taiwan,
5 Malaysia, white factor po ito. Using the machine we have here in the PGLU, yong 500 ml
6 they sell it at P2000. And they are able to because yong container po nila specialized. Para
7 po maging stable.
8
9 Anyways, they have a study in Taiwan na effective si Hypochlorous acid against corona
10 virus/the Covid-19. So these are the international standards that we have. These are tests
11 for disinfectants. So we have the European standards EM1040 and EM1276. Ito po yong
12 mga standards sa Europe and then we have the American standards virucidal activity. Dito
13 po yong mga ginamint nilang strains to test the virucidal effect o nakakapatay ba ng virus
14 yong isang solution specifically yong hypochlorous acid. They use H1N1, the H7N9 and
15 then the corona virus 19. Yong po yong mga international standards. And we have tests po
16 diyan.
17
18 As for the toxicity, yon palagi ang hinahanap ni DOH. Safety and efficacy. Yong safety part
19 because we are going to use it sa human body. When you pass through the misting
20 machine, may contact po yan sa skin, sa eyes and then possible inhalation. Although yong
21 mga ininstall po natin dito we have warning signs na you have to wear mask before you
22 pass through the misting machine. During the animal and safety study conducted by Food
23 and Drug Safety Center of Japan, yong Hypochlorous acid po wala siyang oral toxicity.
24 When you ingest it there are no reports adverse effects. Ibig sabihin walang nangyaring
25 masama sa naka-inom or doon sa animal under study. There’s no primary skin irritation,
26 wala din po siyang eye irritation. Sensitizations tests ito po yong mayroon rushing na
27 nagaganap wala din po. Mitogen testing usually sa pregnant women kung may effect ba
28 yong chemical disinfectant with the fetus, sa baby sa loob ng tiyan.
29
30 Usually negative po lahat ng result doon sa animal toxicity study ng Hypochlorous acid
31 especially yong prinoduce ni Cirius. Yon po yong pangalan ng machine natin sa Mabanag
32 na gumagawa ng Hypochlorous acid. Ito po yong mga application nila sa Japan. Actually
33 Hypochlorous acid as a food contact notification in the USFDA. Concentration of 50-70 ppm,
34 puwede mo po siyang pang hugas ng food, ng mga vegetables, ng meat. Approve yan ng
35 USFDA, they have food contact notification.
36
37 Here we have the smaller version of the Cirius machine, the well clean t.e yon ang
38 ginagamit po sa kitchen sa pag disinfect po ng mga surfaces, panghugas din po ng food. 50
39 ppm po yong kayang gawin niyan. Actually yong misting po natin na ginagawa is nakukuha
40 nila yan sa animal industry because very sensitive ang mga animals sa infection. They are
41 very careful with cross contamination lalo na kung galing yong tao sa labas at pupuwede na
42 magdadala siya ng microbes, ng bacteria, ng virus papasok doon sa animal house. Air
43 shower and disinfecting water mist parang disinfection chamber din po yan ng tao bago
44 pumasok. This is in Japan po.
45
46 The Hypochlorous acid is used in bottling industry in Japan. Very food safe po ang
47 Hypochlorous acid. And I think using Hypochlorous acid with our misting machine po we can
48 guarantee the safety of the misting machine. Yong mga misting machine po diyan may naka
49 label po doon do not use chlorine, alcohol or bleach. Kasi very irritating and toxic. But with
50 Hypochlorous acid wala tayong magiging problema po sa mga ganon. If you have questions
51 po I can answer po, thank you very much.
52
53VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Thank you Apo Petronilo Mendoza Jr. Please stay for a while so that if they
54 would want to ask you a question, they might be able to throw it to you para face to face.
55 Anyway, may I just ask, are you a chemical engineer or doctor?
56
57MR. MENDOZA: I’m a Pharmacist po.
58
59VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Pharmacist by profession and all that. Because sometimes when you talk of
60 the effectivity of what and all that, sometimes if you are not any of those that are a scientist
61 or a chemist and all that, sometimes we rely more on books and all that. That is not a

2

 1 Journal 08-25-2020, Page 9

1 personal experience but more of a experience through the books that you have given and all
2 that. I would understand that you are the one having the machine that you are talking about?
3
4MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir.
5
6VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Not necessarily the solution?
7
8MR. MENDOZA: No sir.
9
10VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: You’re supposed to be making your own with the machine.
11
12MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir.
13
14VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: If it is highly unstable that you say, stable in the sense that it breaks down
15 easily.
16
17MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir.
18
19VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: How is the effectiveness of that when it is unstable? Does it cause any
20 adverse effect on the person concerned? Because you cannot take out that it might be used
21 beyond the potency or the effectiveness of that. Para ba yong gamot na lumagpas ka na
22 doon sa best before something, sometimes it is not as dangerous and all that but sometimes
23 it may cause adverse effects, not all people in some cases especially kapag malakas yong
24 allergic things nila to substances and to all these things. I know you will not be answering it
25 totally but in your own experience and the people that you have come across with there is
26 no adverse effect on that matter.
27
28MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir. After seven days or the prescribed stability of the solution to production,
29 magdi-disintegrate lang po siya into water and sodium chloride, basically salt.
30
31VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So magiging stable lang in short.
32
33MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir. Ang mawawala lang po sa kanya yong efficacy niya as disinfectant. Anti-
34 microbial activity niya po wala na po.
35
36VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So the moment that you produce it and then you use it right away, it should
37 be killing whatever you want to kill, it is killed already.
38
39MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir. Provided that the surface that you are going to spray with is clean.Its free
40 of organic material because like any other disinfectant po, kahit ano pong disinfectant. Wala
41 po dapat siyang soiled na blood, yong mga ibang organic materials po in order po to be
42 totally effective.
43
44VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So in short lilinisan mo muna bago mo i-disinfect.
45
46MR. MENDOZA: Ganoon po naman lahat ng disinfectant.
47
48VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Anyway, are there any questions coming from the Members of the Board
49 regarding the machine that makes this Hypochlorous acid? So everyone is contented in
50 what they heard about the Hypochlorous acid? Anyway, thank you very much for spending
51 time to us to give us clarification and introducing to us this Hypochlorous acid.
52
53MR. MENDOZA: Our pleasure sir. Thank you very much po.
54
55VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: This can also be used by..you see I have a poultry and sometimes I used
56 disinfectant kasla bio security. This is also being used like that o para sa tao lang ito?
57
58MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir. As you can see po sa slide ginagamit po siya pero kapag poultry po hindi
59 po direct sa mga birds, sa feathers, yong surface po.

 1 Journal 08-25-2020, Page 10

1VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: No, it’s usually like a foot bath like that. Sometimes when the cages are
2 emptied and we try to prepare it for the next batch we usually clean and disinfect the area
3 before we put a new ones.
4
5MR. MENDOZA: This is very effective sa poultry and livestock po. At 200 ppm po, yon po yong
6 prescribed na concentration. 200 parts million po na concentration. Automatic na pong
7 gagawin ni machine yon.
8
9VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So what is produce there in the machine is what we put in the sprayer or
10 what and then we spray it like that.
11
12MR. MENDOZA: For this, we set it on 150 ppm po. Yong ginagamit po ni Kapitolyo.
13
14VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Yong sinasabi mo na yon, it can be set through the machine that will make it
15 and it will make it to that specific concentration.
16
17MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir. Automatic na po na gagawin ni machine.
18
19VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Ang mahal naman ata nong makina?
20
21MR. MENDOZA: Pero sir in the long run if youy are going to compare it with alcohol because we
22 did a cross benefit analysis on that in Baguio because we are going to install a machine in
23 Baguio . We computed it as 5 pesos per gallon compared to the 500, 600 pesos of alcohol.
24
25VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: You know I’ll tell you something. When I ask for the cost and I am answered
26 with a full blown kwento, that means it’s expensive.
27
28MR. MENDOZA: It is expensive sir but in the long run it is an investment.
29
30VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Anyway, good things doesn’t come cheap. Yes, you have a question Hon.
31 Nancy Bacurnay from Bauang.
32
33SPM BACURNAY: Thank you very much sir. Good afternoon po. Tanong ko po kung puwede po ito
34 sa mga manok, puwede din po sa mga baboy. Kung halimbawa po nagkaroon ng ASF sa
35 isang barangay, sa isang kulungan ng baboy sa isang backyard tapos yong mga kapitbahay
36 na may mga baboy pwede pong gumamit mag spray ng ganon para ma contain yong ASF?
37
38MR. MENDOZA: Yes Ma’am. Because it is effective with virus which is virus po ang ASF. So very
39 effective po siya doon. At 200 ppm concentration, yon po yong prescribed concentration
40 natin with Hypochlorous acid for that. Like lahat po ng disinfectant po talaga they are
41 inactivated organic material yong mga poop, kelangan po malinis po muna yon before
42 disinfection.
43
44VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So it is usually advisable to apply it when you have clean the cages and the
45 pigs. Pero kung nag spray ka na andoon yong pigs hindi ba mamatay yong mga pigs?
46
47MR. MENDOZA: Hindi po sir. Non-irritating po at non-toxic siya.
48
49VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: Kasi yong sa manok wala akong problema because we only apply the
50 disinfectant when we have emptied the cages and then we plan to put new ones so we
51 clean it and then we disinfect it before we put in new chickens. Sa pigs kasi kung minsan,
52 doon na mismo tinitira na nila habang nandoon pa yong pigs.
53
54SPM BACURNAY: Mr. Chair may we then request the Chair of the Committee on Agriculture kasi
55 may mga ASF dito sa atin, nagkaroon tayo ng ASF to discuss it with the OPAG na kung
56 magkaroon ng ASF siguro, mag spray na yong mga kapit-bahay ng HOCL. Thank you vdry
57 much Mr. Presiding Officer.
58
59VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: The Hon.Geraldine Ortega is recognized.
60
61SPM G ORTEGA: Thank you very much Mr. Chair. Gladly I’ll take it up Ma’am Nancy but do we
62 have a budget for that machine? How much is that machine? Yan ang problema.

3
4MR. MENDOZA: Yes sir.
5
6VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So it’s just the application and production of it. But mine you, you have to do
7 it in seven days.
8
9MR. MENDOZA: May I inform po the Honorable Body that the machine can produce 1,500 liters per
10 hour. For 10 hours we can produce 15 thousand liters po and we can use it sa multiple

12 building and I think malaki po ang maitutulong nito sa ating mamamayan.
13
14VICE-GOV. ORTEGA: So are there any other question? Apo Annabelle you wish to ask a question?
15 Apo Jun? So I think everything is covered. Thank you again in behalf of the Members of this
