The document discusses the One Health approach taken in the Philippines for rabies prevention, avian influenza protection, and addressing zoonotic diseases. It describes the creation of the National Rabies Prevention and Control Program, Avian Influenza Protection Program, and Philippine Inter-agency Committee on Zoonoses to facilitate collaboration between animal health, public health, and environmental agencies. These committees and programs coordinate prevention, control, and elimination efforts for diseases like rabies, avian influenza, henipavirus, Ebola, and schistosomiasis through activities like mass dog vaccination, surveillance, education, and treatment programs. The recognized inter-agency partnerships are able to quickly respond to emerging infectious diseases issues.
The One Health approach recognizes that human health, animal health, and environmental health are interconnected. It aims to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment through collaboration across multiple disciplines. Key agencies like FAO, OIE, and WHO have developed strategic frameworks to foster cooperation between sectors. Case studies demonstrate how delayed or lack of coordination between human and animal health sectors increased costs and impacted control of diseases like Nipah virus. Antimicrobial resistance is another issue that requires a One Health approach.

The One Health approach aims to develop sustainable solutions by building relationships across human and veterinary medicine as well as other relevant fields.
Emerging infectious diseases in China: the One Health approach Harm Kiezebrink
This report on the UN China One Health event (June 2011) is focusing on diseases at the human-animal-interface. ‘One Health’ and ‘Ecohealth’ are ways of thinking about, approaching and investigating diseases that go beyond the traditional pathogen-centric approach.
By examining the complex issues that result in disease emergence and transmission and this information can be used to implement better disease control and preventive measures.
One of the conclusions is that the rapid development in Asia means that the complex effects of changes to ecosystems not always have been discussed or examined in a way that takes account of the positive and negative effects of development.
For highly pathogenic avian influenza it has been important to understand how the disease emerged and spread so that appropriate measures could be implemented.

Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897
This slide deck shows how the act came into existence, how it has been modified in the context of COVID19 (Epidemic Diseases Ordinance, 2020), what its limitations are, and what can be done to prepare a more robust act.
Malaria remains one of the deadliest diseases globally, killing nearly 1 million people annually. In 1998, the Roll Back Malaria Partnership was created by the WHO, UNICEF, World Bank, and UNDP to combat malaria through coordinated control, prevention, and treatment efforts. While RBM has achieved some successes like saving over 1 million lives, it continues to struggle with inadequate funding to meet its goals of eventually eradicating malaria. The document explores RBM's history and efforts to address the extensive social, economic, environmental, and public health challenges posed by malaria.
Global health is an important new term, and an important new concept. The Institute of Medicine refers to global health as "health problems, issues and concerns that transcend national boundaries, may be influenced by circumstances or experiences in other countries, and are best addressed by cooperative actions and solutions."

Public health is dependent on animal health in rural areas because poor animal health directly affects the human food supply. Veterinary public health entails the diagnosis, surveillance, epidemiology, control, prevention and elimination of Zoonoses. Unsatisfactory implementation of stringent disease control, meat inspectorate and drug dispensation legislations prevents the efficient production of food of animal origin; creating obstacles to international trade in animals and animal products and hence an impediment to overall socioeconomic development

One Health: A Holistic Approach to Achieving Global Well-beinggreendigital
Introduction:
In an interconnected world where the boundaries between humans, and animals. and the environment blurred. One Health has emerged as a comprehensive approach to addressing complex health challenges. One Health recognizes the intricate connections between the Health of humans and animals. and ecosystems, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts across disciplines to achieve optimal well-being for all. This article delves into the fundamental principles of It, and its historical roots. and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach global Health.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Understanding One Health:
A- Definition and Scope:
It is an integrative approach that considers the Health of humans, animals. and the environment as interdependent entities. It acknowledges that the Health of one component influences the Health of the others. and disruptions in any of these systems can have far-reaching consequences. This approach goes beyond traditional silos in health management. and embraces a holistic perspective. recognizing the intricate web of connections that shape our Health.
B- Historical Roots:
The roots of the It concept can traced back to ancient civilizations. where the interconnectedness of human and animal health acknowledged. But, the formal recognition of It as a distinct field gained momentum in the late 20th century. The emergence of zoonotic diseases transmitted between animals. and humans highlighted the need for a collaborative approach to disease prevention and control.
Key Principles of One Health:
A- Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
At the heart of It is interdisciplinary collaboration. This principle involves breaking down the traditional barriers between medical, veterinary. and environmental sciences. Professionals from various fields work together to understand the complex dynamics of Health. and to develop effective strategies for prevention, surveillance, and response to emerging threats.
B- Zoonotic Disease Surveillance:
Given the increasing frequency of zoonotic disease outbreaks. It emphasizes surveillance and early detection. Monitoring diseases at the human-animal-environment interface is crucial for identifying potential threats before. they escalate into global pandemics. This proactive approach involves close collaboration between public health agencies. veterinary services, and environmental monitoring bodies.
C- Environmental Stewardship:
It recognizes the impact of environmental degradation on Health. Climate change, deforestation, and pollution can exacerbate the spread of diseases. affect water and food sources, and compromise the well-being of ecosystems. Integrating environmental stewardship into health policies is essential for safeguarding the Health of present and future generations.
Examples of One Health in Action:
A- Pandemic Preparedness:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of a It approach. The virus, believed to have originated in bats.

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture, and the environment has contributed to the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A holistic, multisectoral response is needed that promotes prudent antibiotic use and prevents infection across human, animal, agricultural, and environmental domains.
- Native pigs have a higher digestive capacity and microbial activity in their hindgut compared to improved pigs, allowing them to utilize low-quality feed materials.
- General feeding practices for native pigs include feeding a combination of concentrate and forage twice daily. Feeding practices vary based on life stage from sows and boars getting 1-1.5kg of mixed feed and supplements, to suckling piglets getting ad-libitum starter mash and supplements, to weaners getting 0.3-1kg of mixed feed and supplements.
- Sample mixed feeds for native pigs contain ingredients like rice bran, corn, copra, and molasses. Establishing forage production areas can help minimize feed
Marketing and income potential of philippine native pig (glenda p. fule)Perez Eric
This document discusses native pig farming in the Philippines. It begins by outlining the demand and consumption of pork in the country. It then provides details on marketing the native pig, including potential products (lechon), target markets (lechon consumers), and pricing. The document also analyzes the costs and returns of raising native pigs, including feed costs, sales projections, and estimated profits from selling weanlings and slaughter pigs (lechon-type). In summary, the document finds that native pig farming in the Philippines can be a profitable endeavor.
Health care in native pig production (dr. aleli a. collado)Perez Eric
This document discusses herd health programs for native pig production. It outlines the epidemiologic triad and describes key elements of a herd health program including biosecurity, vaccination against hog cholera, and control of internal and external parasites. Common diseases of pigs are also listed, along with signs of unhealthy animals and preventive measures. First aid recommendations for diarrhea, fever and colds in pigs are provided.
Breed development, production and commecial utilization of native pigsPerez Eric
- Native pigs are an important part of rural farming communities in the Philippines, providing food security, income, and cultural/social roles. However, native pig production typically remains a small-scale backyard activity without consistent profits.
- There is increasing demand for organically and naturally produced foods, as well as interest in conserving native genetic resources. Improved native pig breeds are desired that are adapted to local conditions but also provide uniform, predictable production and product quality.
- A strategy is proposed to develop homogeneous but genetically diverse native pig populations through organized breeding programs, improved production systems, and marketing of native pig products.

This document summarizes the presentation of Fabian Maximillan B. Cabriga on science-based native pig production in the Philippines. It discusses the current situation of small-scale native pig farmers, including issues like lack of training, standards, and market support. It then outlines how the Philippine Native Pig Owners Network Association was established in 2015 to address these issues. The association has helped organize farmers, establish stable prices, and promote native pork. It also describes Teofely Nature Farms, a model native pig farm started by Cabriga, and how it aims to produce high quality native pork and vegetables sustainably through good practices.
Benefits and Market Potential of Native Pig Lechon Processing and MarketingPerez Eric
Lechon, or roasted pig, is a Filipino delicacy traditionally made with native Philippine pigs. The document discusses lechon production in La Loma, Philippines, which is considered the lechon capital. Ping Ping Native Lechon & Restaurant is one of the established brands in La Loma that uses 100% native pigs for lechon. While there is steady demand, production is limited by the supply and high costs of quality native pigs. The lechon industry needs government support to address issues around native pig supply and transportation regulations.
Native Pig Trading and Lechon Processing and Marketing in CebuPerez Eric
Ms. Claire C. Silva owns Claire's Lechon de Cebu, which began in 1989 processing one pig per week and has since expanded to processing 10-15 pigs per week normally and up to 40 pigs on weekends during peak seasons. Native pigs from Negros and Bohol are used for their juicy and tasty meat. The pigs are slaughtered and seasoned in-house before being roasted over open wood charcoal. While lechon production has grown, challenges include fluctuating pig prices and quality as well as competition from other processors. Future plans include breeding their own pigs and expanding markets.
The document summarizes a FIESTA event held in Zamboanga City to promote the ZamPen native chicken breed. It discusses the 10 years of research that went into developing the ZamPen breed. The event featured exhibits, forums, and competitions to encourage local farmers and businesses to raise ZamPen chickens as a livelihood option. The goal was to connect producers with potential buyers and introduce technology that can help the native chicken industry. Samples of dishes made from ZamPen chicken were served to event attendees.
The FLS-GEM project trained over 2,500 goat farmers through 28-week courses focusing on improved feeding, breeding, health and waste management. This led to increases in productivity such as higher conception rates, shorter kidding intervals, and greater survival rates and kid weights. Farmers saw higher profits as a result, with income increasing by over 30% on average. The project had wide social impacts as well, with increased cooperation between farmers and new businesses developing around goat farming. The project was so successful that its training model was adopted as the national standard for goat production in the Philippines.
The document discusses an e-learning program on goat raising offered by the DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD). The program offers free online certificate courses on topics related to goat production. As of November 2017, over 2,100 students have graduated from the program, consisting of farmers, extension workers, businessmen, and overseas Filipino workers. Students can enroll by creating an account on the e-extension website and selecting from the available goat raising course modules.
The document discusses the Test-Interval Method (TIM), a common practice for measuring total milk yield (TMY) in small ruminants. TIM uses a formula that calculates TMY based on milk measurements taken at intervals after birth and between subsequent milkings. It originated as a way for farmers and organizations to evaluate goat performance and rank animals for selective breeding programs to improve genetics. TIM can be used on individual farms or in government programs.
This document discusses standards for slaughtering and cutting goats. It outlines proper procedures for transporting goats to slaughter, ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection, and slaughter methods. Detailed cutting schemes for six prime cuts of chevon are also presented. Adopting these standards would help produce clean meat through proper hygiene, allow for higher carcass recovery, demand higher prices, and serve as a guideline for developing policies around goat slaughtering.
The document summarizes research on a herbal dewormer called MCM for goats. MCM is created from a mixture of three Philippine plants - makahiya, caimito, and makabuhay. Clinical trials showed MCM, administered as either a 500mg capsule or 500ul liquid twice at a 2 week interval, was effective at eliminating the parasitic roundworm Haemonchus contortus in goats. This led to increased health, milk and meat production in treated goats. The document provides details on the formulation, dosage, availability and pricing of the herbal MCM dewormer and encourages farmers to try and support this natural treatment option for healthier goats.
The Limited Role of the Streaming Instability during Moon and Exomoon FormationSérgio Sacani
It is generally accepted that the Moon accreted from the disk formed by an impact between the proto-Earth and
impactor, but its details are highly debated. Some models suggest that a Mars-sized impactor formed a silicate
melt-rich (vapor-poor) disk around Earth, whereas other models suggest that a highly energetic impact produced a
silicate vapor-rich disk. Such a vapor-rich disk, however, may not be suitable for the Moon formation, because
moonlets, building blocks of the Moon, of 100 m–100 km in radius may experience strong gas drag and fall onto
Earth on a short timescale, failing to grow further. This problem may be avoided if large moonlets (?100 km)
form very quickly by streaming instability, which is a process to concentrate particles enough to cause gravitational
collapse and rapid formation of planetesimals or moonlets. Here, we investigate the effect of the streaming
instability in the Moon-forming disk for the first time and find that this instability can quickly form ∼100 km-sized
moonlets. However, these moonlets are not large enough to avoid strong drag, and they still fall onto Earth quickly.
This suggests that the vapor-rich disks may not form the large Moon, and therefore the models that produce vaporpoor disks are supported. This result is applicable to general impact-induced moon-forming disks, supporting the
previous suggestion that small planets (<1.6 R⊕) are good candidates to host large moons because their impactinduced disks would likely be vapor-poor. We find a limited role of streaming instability in satellite formation in an
impact-induced disk, whereas it plays a key role during planet formation.

Measuring gravitational attraction with a lattice atom interferometerSérgio Sacani
Despite being the dominant force of nature on large scales, gravity remains relatively
elusive to precision laboratory experiments. Atom interferometers are powerful tools
for investigating, for example, Earth’s gravity1
, the gravitational constant2
, deviations
from Newtonian gravity3–6
and general relativity7
. However, using atoms in free fall
limits measurement time to a few seconds8
, and much less when measuring
interactions with a small source mass2,5,6,9
. Recently, interferometers with atoms
suspended for 70 s in an optical-lattice mode fltered by an optical cavity have been
demonstrated10–14. However, the optical lattice must balance Earth’s gravity by
applying forces that are a billionfold stronger than the putative signals, so even tiny
imperfections may generate complex systematic efects. Thus, lattice interferometers
have yet to be used for precision tests of gravity. Here we optimize the gravitational
sensitivity of a lattice interferometer and use a system of signal inversions to suppress
and quantify systematic efects. We measure the attraction of a miniature source mass
to be amass = 33.3 ± 5.6stat ± 2.7syst nm s−2, consistent with Newtonian gravity, ruling out
‘screened ffth force’ theories3,15,16 over their natural parameter space. The overall
accuracy of 6.2 nm s−2 surpasses by more than a factor of four the best similar
measurements with atoms in free fall5,6
. Improved atom cooling and tilt-noise
suppression may further increase sensitivity for investigating forces at sub-millimetre
ranges17,18, compact gravimetry19–22, measuring the gravitational Aharonov–Bohm
efect9,23 and the gravitational constant2
, and testing whether the gravitational feld
has quantum properties24.

The use of probiotics and antibiotics in aquaculture production.pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing agriculture sectors in the world, providing food and nutritional security to millions of people. However, disease outbreaks are a constraint to aquaculture production, thereby affecting the socio-economic status of people in many countries. Due to intensive farming practices, infectious diseases are a major problem in finfish and shellfish aquaculture, causing heavy loss to farmers (Austin & Sharifuzzaman, 2022). For instance Bacterial fish diseases are responsible for a huge annual loss estimated at USD 6 billion in 2014, and this figure has increased to 9.58 in 2020 globally.
Disease control in the aquaculture industry has been achieved using various methods, including traditional means, synthetic chemicals and antibiotics. In the 1970s and 1980s oxolinic acid, oxytetracycline (OTC), furazolidone, potential sulphonamides (sulphadiazine and trimethoprim) and amoxicillin were the most commonly used antibiotics in fish farming (Amenyogbe et al., 2020). However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in disease control has led to selective pressure of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, a property that may be readily transferred to other bacteria (Bondad‐Reantaso et al., 2023a). Traditional methods are ineffective against controlling new disease in large aquaculture systems. Therefore, alternative methods need to be developed to maintain a healthy microbial environment in aquaculture systems, thereby maintaining the health of the cultured organisms.

Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

ABSTRACT
The One Health concept simply states that there should be a unified interaction between veterinary,
human health medicine, and public and environmental health professionals, clinicians, researchers,
agencies and governments working together for the benefit of sustainable and effective community health
interventions in solving global and environmental health challenges. Such interactions may take place at
many levels – from management of zoonotic infectious disease outbreaks to integrated policy making and
funding decisions. This paper focuses on the One Health Approach of the Philippines at the national and
local levels from the view of Animal Health Program Implementers, with focus on the creation and
mechanisms following: 1) the National Rabies Prevention and Control Program (NRPCP), 2) the Avian
Influenza Protection Program (AIPP), 3) the Philippine Inter-agency Committee on Zoonoses (PhiICZ),
and 4) other important diseases with inter-agency collaboration (Henipavirus, Ebola Reston Virus and
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) such as Schistosomiasis). The said programs and committees are
discussed with their own committees and examples of One Health Approach in the prevention, control
and eventual elimination of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. The NRPCP is a multi-agency program
formed through Republic Act 9482 or the “Anti-rabies Act of 2007” with the aim to prevent and control
rabies. The same program has a special committee (National Rabies Prevention and Control Committee
NRPCC) that meets regularly in the implementation of the program. The AIPP has its own Task Force
and Manual of Operations in preparing and protecting the country against the dangers of Avian Influenza
and its possible route of entry. While the PhiICZ is a formal committee created specifically to support the
One Health and zoonotic disease collaborations. It endeavors to develop a national strategy on
prevention, control and elimination of zoonoses, and establish a functional and sustainable mechanism to
strengthen the animal-human interface for the effective prevention, control and elimination of zoonotic
diseases. Lastly, other forms of success in the One Health Approach include inter-agency cooperation in
other important diseases such as Henipavirus, Ebola Reston Virus and Shcistosomiasis. The recognized
One Health partnership in the Philippines assures that any emerging diseases can have conclusive and
immediate action leading to a quick response and better resolution.

INTRODUCTION
The 'One Health' concept states simply that there should be a seamless interaction between veterinary and
human medicine with clinicians, researchers, agencies and governments working together for the benefit
of domestic and wild animal and human health and the global environment. Such interactions may take
2. 2
place at many levels - from management of zoonotic infectious disease outbreaks in the field, to joint
research programs to integrated policy making and funding decisions.1
The concept of “One Health” is recognized both nationally and globally, and is being interpreted in
different ways, and at different ways in different countries. Like many countries, for years the Philippines
has been quietly practicing this concept at the local setting with different labels such as coordination,
collaboration, and biosecurity. These efforts are unfortunately poorly documented and unofficially
recognized then. In the advent of the growing trend of Emerging (and Resurging) Infectious and
Transboundary Animal Diseases, the Philippines has accepted that the present health issues faced globally
is linked to the increasing contact between humans and animals, intensification of food production, and
the growth of international travel. Environmental factors such as global warming, urbanization, climate
shift, and globalization also contributes to this increasing development.
ONE HEALTH APPROACH ACTIVITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES
The National Rabies Prevention and Control Program (NRPCP)
Rabies in the Philippines is present since the early times and collaborative activities within the national
and local government units have existed as far back as the 1800s. However, this unfortunately lacked
sufficient documentation. Today, rabies continues to be a serious public health issue in the Philippines
causing 200 to 250 deaths yearly to Filipinos. In 2015 alone, there were 702 laboratory confirmed animal
rabies cases recorded out of 2,653 samples submitted.
Recognizing the need to address this problem, the “Anti-Rabies Act of 2007” otherwise known as the
Republic Act 9482 was passed. It provides for the control and elimination of human and animal rabies,
prescribing penalties for violation thereof and appropriating funds therefor. It was signed into law on the
25th
of May 2007. Pursuant to this act is the creation of the National Rabies Prevention and Control
Program, a multi-agency effort in controlling and eliminating Rabies in the country. The program is
implemented by the National Rabies Prevention and Control Committee chaired by the Bureau of
Animal Industry (BAI) of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and vice-chaired by the National Center
for Disease Prevention and Control (NCDPC) of the Department of Health (DOH). The committee is
composed of one duly representative for each of the following departments: DA, DOH, Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Department of Education (DepEd); and one representative
each for the following: Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGOs), People’s Organizations (POs), academe, Local Government Units (LGUs), and
Provincial, City, and Municipal Veterinarians League of the Philippines (PCMVLP). Among
its component activities include: (1) Mass registration and vaccination of dogs; (2) Establishment of
central database system for registered and vaccinated dogs; (3) Impounding, field control and disposition
of unregistered, stray and unvaccinated dogs; (4) Conduct of information and education campaign on the
prevention and control of rabies; (5) Provision on pre-exposure treatment to high-risk personnel and post-
exposure treatment to animal bite victims; (6) Provision of free routine immunization or Pre-Exposure
Prophylaxis (PEP) of school children aged five to fourteen in areas where there is high incidence of
rabies; and (7) Encouragement of the practice of responsible Pet ownership (RPO).

Currently, the National Rabies Prevention and Control Committee (NRPCC) have regular meetings
every two months or as often as maybe necessary to implement the program. All other roles and
responsibilities of the Committee are stated under the Implementing Rules and Regulations Implementing
Republic Act 9482, Rule 4.
With the realization in the NRPCP in the importance of mass dog vaccination as key strategy to
control and eventually eliminate human rabies at its source, the objective of the program is to cover at
least 70% of the estimated dog population of the country. With this objective, in 2014, the Department of
Health has allocated sixty nine million five hundred forty five thousand pesos (PhP 69,545,000.00) to
transfer to the Department of Agriculture to augment the much needed purchase of dog anti-rabies
vaccines. This is a first of its kind to be done in the immediate need to achieve a common goal, and a
collaborative effort between multiple agencies.
Avian Influenza Protection Program (AIPP)
The Philippine Avian Influenza Protection Program (AIPP) was developed during the height of the
outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in South East Asia. It was formally implemented
on April 20, 2005 through Joint Department of Agriculture (DA) and Department of Health (DOH)
Administrative Order No. 001 which also established the National Avian Influenza Task Force (NAITF),
jointly implemented by the poultry industry. The AIPP Manual of Procedures has become one of the
primary references for information on the government’s AI prevention program and preparedness plan.
The courses of action mainly address HPAI incursion, especially with the increased arrival of
international visitors and Filipinos, and in the importation of live domestic and wild birds, poultry and/or
poultry products from notifiable Avian Influenza affected countries or zones.
Since then, there have been developments in the knowledge on Avian Influenza. Technological
advancements have improved the understanding of the disease – information on new pathologic strains,
development or improvement of control measures, and increased preparedness and capabilities to address
related situations. In 2010, the DOH has released the Philippine Preparedness and Response Plan for
Pandemic and Avian Influenza to address AI and other emerging infectious diseases with special
consideration to the human sector. Since then, over the course of time, developments have necessitated
the review and revision of the said document in consultation with representatives from the national,
regional and local government offices, the academe and the poultry industry organizations.
There are 4 stages in the AIPP,and the Philippines is currently implementing Stage 1 under the
Department of Agriculture –
Department of Agriculture
Stage 1 Keeping the Philippines Bird-Flu Free
Stage 2 Controlling and Eradicating Bird Flu in Domestic
Fowl
Department of Health
Stage 1 Prevention and Control of AI in humans
Stage 2 Mitigation of Public Health and Socio-Economic
Impact of Pandemic Influenza
6. 6
The Prevention Program includes a (1) Ban on Importation from AI-Affected Countries, (2)
Minimum Biosecurity Measures, (3) Surveillance and Prevention Programs at Airports and Seaports, (4)
Surveillance of Poultry in Critical Areas in the Philippines, (5) Preparedness from the National to Local
Level, (6) Establishment of Compartmentalized Poultry Zones, (7) Upgrading of Laboratory facilities –
PAHC and RADDLs, (8) Enforcement of the Wildlife Act, and (9) Preventive Measures in Humans.
With this ongoing program and through the strong collaborative efforts of the different sectors involved,
the Philippines remain as one of the Avian Influenza free countries in South East Asia.
Philippines Inter-agency Committee on Zoonoses
The Philippine Inter-agency Committee (PhiICZ) on Zoonoses (formerly Philippines National Committee
on Zoonoses) was created with the vision to establish animal and human health sector collaboration
between the Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Health (DOH), and Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) for the prevention and control of zoonoses. At this time,
collaborative activities already exist between the said agencies in specific diseases such as the Rabies
Prevention and Control Program, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), and the Ebola Reston Virus
in Pigs Disease Control and Management.
In 2010, the Philippines participated in the “Regional Workshop on Collaboration between Human
and Animal Health Sectors on Zoonoses Prevention and Control” in Sapporo, Japan. The additional
learnings and increased commitments from joint workshops and local meetings helped in the completion
of PhiICZ’s creation through Administrative Order No. 10 dated 11 April 2011 signed by President
Benigno S. Aquino III, entitled “Creating the Philippine Inter-agency Committee on Zoonoses, Defining
Its Powers, Functions, Responsibilities, Other Related Matters and Providing Funds Thereof.” The
Committee is composed of the Department of Health (DOH), Department of Agriculture (DA),
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and their respective agencies as members.
The Secretary of each Department or his duly authorized representative serves as Chairperson of the
PhiICZ on a two-year rotational basis. It is currently chaired by the Department of Health (2015 to 2016),
previous chairmanship includes: DENR-Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (2013 to 2014), DA-Bureau
of Animal Industry (2011 to 2012), and DOH-NationalCenter for Disease Prevention and Control.

The PhiICZ endeavors to: a) develop a national strategy on prevention, control and elimination of
zoonoses; and b) establish a functional and sustainable mechanism to strengthen the animal-human
interface for the effective prevention, control and elimination of zoonotic diseases.
The PhilCZ’s function are the following: (1) Ensure that the animal and human health sectors’ plans,
programs and activities are consistent with the National Strategic Work Plan; (2) Review and develop

Other collaborations and cooperation
Aside from Rabies, AI and the PhiICZ, part of the experiences of the Philippines on One Health is
addressing Henipavirus, Ebola Reston Virus and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) such as
Schistosomiasis. On Henipa, detection of the virus and institutionalizing quarantine procedures and
control measures was conducted along with the DOH, Provincial Veterinary Office and the Philippine
National Police (PNP). On Ebola Reston, the Bureau was able to deal with the virus in swine and
monkeys in terms of detection, IEC, depopulation and bat surveillance with DOH, DENR-PAWB, LGUs
and concerned stakeholders. Also for Schistosomiasis, a project is currently being tackled with the DOH
and WHO.
CONCLUSION
As stated by Dr. Enrique A. Tayag, Assistant Secretary of the DOH during the “Perspectives in
Intersectoral Collaboration during the National Consultative Workshop on Zoonoses” last 16-17
November 2011: “Collaborative partnerships have the best chance for success when members lay the
foundation in the first mile for the last mile success and take mutual responsibility along the journey for
leadership, management, and culture within the partnership.” Any program to combat a disease challenge
faced by public health can be successful through effective collaboration and coordination with different
sectors – One Health. Though it might be interpreted differently from other countries and the One Health
approach has been existing and effective at the local settings of the Philippines in the control of numerous
diseases. The Philippine agencies involved are aware that existing collaborative activities and One Health
partnerships are essential in the conclusive and immediate action towards the control and eventual
elimination of emerging and re-emerging diseases.
