CEBU CITY — Despite the presence of African swine fever (ASF) among the hog population in Carcar City, cooked pork products, including Cebu's popular roasted pig ('lechon') and 'chicharon' (fried pork cracklings) can now be brought out of the locality. According to Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia, ASF is not harmful to humans, noting that the virus causing ASF will not survive if meat is cooked for at least 30 minutes at a temperature of over 70 degrees Celsius. The Department of Agriculture (DA), she said, allows the transport of cooked pork so there is no reason to prevent sale of lechon out of Carcar City.

Sometimes you just gotta understand when it's no longer working. Maybe Gallo should consider doing something else. MLB restricted the shift for 2023 and Joey Gallo was relieved. Hell, Joey Gallo fans were thrilled. "He's gonna start hitting really well now, you watch" a friend of mine said.  I said simply, "I'll believe it when I see it." Well, I'm not seeing it. Just so you know what the shift restriction was all about, The Sporting News writes : "While the pitch clock has been the hot topic in baseball throughout spring training, there is another MLB rule change being applied in 2023 that will possibly have a bigger impact on the game itself.
