Budget Secretary Rolando Andaya said the fund, part of the soon-to-be-signed 2007 national budget, will be made available to five government agencies, led by the Department of Agriculture, to implement the Avian Influenza Protection Program.

The program will focus on monitoring areas at risk of infection from migratory birds, upgrading laboratories, building up rapid-action capability in case of an outbreak and other activities, he said.

The government’s Avian Influenza Protection Program (AIPP) says that should the lethal H5N1 bird-flu strain enter the country and infect a poultry farm, military and agriculture officials will cull all feathered animals within a three-kilometer radius to halt the spread of the virus. These animals will include ducks, broilers, quail and, yes, even pampered fighting cocks.
