Despite the swine flu outbreak, Asia's appetite for pork remains healthy. People in Manila in the Philippines are seemingly unfazed by the flu scare.

Throughout Asia, fears of a global swine flu outbreak has yet to reach the dining table with pork still a favorite for many.

In the Philippines, though pork prices initially went down with a small drop in demand, locals continue to eat pork products like roasted pig or lechon.

Lechon is a favorite Filipino delicacy and is popular food for parties.

[Josie Pua, Restaurant Worker]:
"Our customers haven't been avoiding pork. Maybe when the flu gets here, it will affect us. But we have safety inspectors."

Filipinos are comforted by the fact that the swine flu virus has not reached the Philippine's shores. Health officials now say the new virus strain does not come directly from hogs.

[Rodolfo Lagarde, Customer]:
"Even if there's a swine flu virus, we'll just take our chances with pork. We go on eating whatever tastes good, that's how Filipinos are. Anyway, it's safe to eat pork now, we haven't heard much news of people getting hospitalized."

Agriculture officials have banned pork imports from Mexico, the U.S. and selected areas in Canada, but have declared pork safe to eat.

[Arthur Yap, Agriculture Secretary]:
"Philippine pork is safe to eat. We do not have an outbreak of swine influenza in the Philippines today."

Singapore also reports no major affect on pork consumption so far.

ang kaparusahan ng panginoon sa nagsikain ng laman ng baboy Isaiah 66 verses 16 and 17

16. Sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng apoy makikipagpunyagi ang Panginoon, at sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang tabak, sa lahat ng mga tao: at ang mapapatay ng Panginoon ay magiging marami.17.Silang nangagpapakabanal, at nangagpapakalinis na nagsisiparoon sa mga halamanan, sa likuran ng isa sa gitna, na nagsisikain ng laman ng baboy, at ng kasuklamsuklam, at ng daga; sila'y darating sa isang wakas na magkakasama

ang baboy sapagkat ito ay janitor animal ang kanyang role... bawal kainin ng mga tao sabi ng panginoon.. ang pagbawal sa atin ay isang simbolo kung tau ay tumutupad sa bawat utos ng panginoon... sabi ng bibliya na tinatago ng mga pastor at pare

leviticus 11 talata 7 haggang 8. ganun din sa deu 14 talta 8... at ang kaparusahan sa sinumang hindi tumtutupad Isaiah 66 talata 15 16 hanggang 17.
