No Ebola In RP Pig Farms

Pork lovers, you read it right. Say goodbye to pork abstinence my dear. Rejoice instead because there's no Ebola-Reston virus (earlier found in monkeys) in RP pig farms.

The strain was accidentally discovered when RP sent samples of pig blood to America to find a vaccine for another disease killing local pigs. Six of 24 samples tested positive for the strain.

Earlier today, health officials of the country announced that no cases of the controversial virus was found. The examination was narrowed to 2 pig farms in Bulacan and Pangasinan. Result: Negative for Ebola. Officials said none of the animals tested thus far had the virus.

Craving for luscious pork barbeque? Or mouth-watering pork chops? Give in to temptation. No worries.
