BACOLOD CITY — The Negros Occidental provincial government distributed 10 heads of boar and six heads of gilt worth P370,000 on Tuesday, as part of the Provincial Swine Industry Recovery Initiatives.

Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson said the hogs are in support of the ongoing hog repopulation after raisers lost thousands of pigs to African swine fever (ASF) and other transboundary diseases last year.
