                    [Summary] => Authorities are watching several places in the country including the 32,000-hectare Candaba swamp in Pampanga as a possible breeding ground for the dreaded bird flu virus. The Candaba swamp is a bird sanctuary where thousands of birds particularly from China migrate to escape the cold winter months. Migratory birds carrying the bird flu virus could infect chicken and other poultry in other provinces near Pampanga, and could pose a threat to the poultry industry in the country.
