Just an appreciation post to all our healthcare workers, frontliners, and DRRM responders who braved the harsh weather conditions just to make sure patients are safe, supported, and cared for. Salute to all of you—rain or shine, you show up. 🫡👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🧑‍🚒

To our colleagues whose work was disrupted by floods, landslides, or road closures-we see you too. Your role in preparedness and response is just as vital.

And to anyone reading this: whatever you’re going through, we’ll rise together. Storms don’t last forever. Prayers up. 🙏🏻

📍LIFELINE UPDATE | 🚧 Nueva Vizcaya - Pangasinan Road Closed

Dahil sa landslide na dulot ng Habagat at magkakasunod na bagyong Crising, Dante, at Emong, pansamantalang isinara ang Nueva Vizcaya–Pangasinan Road simula kahapon upang matiyak ang kaligtasan ng mga biyahero.

⚠️ Alternate route: Travelers are advised to take the Nueva Ecija route for now.

🛣️ Lifelines like roads and bridges are critical during disasters and emergencies. Their availability affects not just transportation, but also medical response, relief delivery, and access to health care.

Patuloy po tayong mag-ingat at makiisa sa mga abiso ng ating lokal na pamahalaan.

Preparedness means having backup upon backup. Duplication of power sources, sustainable lifelines, and early action in DOH hospitals reflect our commitment to continuity, prevention, and resilience even in the eye of the storm.

🚨 DOH: ‘WAG GUMAMIT NG DOXYCYCLINE NANG WALANG RESETA🚨

Ang doxycycline ay isang antibiotic na ginagamit laban sa Leptospirosis.

Kapag mali ang pag-inom, pwedeng mawalan ito ng bisa laban sa mga mikrobyo at maging mas mahirap gamutin ang simpleng impeksyon. Pwede itong humantong sa matagal o mas matinding pagkakasakit.

Nakadepende ang pag-inom ng doxycycline sa exposure o risk level ng taong nalubog sa baha.

Payo ng DOH, magpatingin sa doktor para sa tamang reseta sa paggamit ng antibiotic na ito.

Many areas are flooded today due to the existing south. The Department of Energy once again reminds our countrymen to follow the following reminders to avoid disasters, such as power outages and other damages caused by electricity.

Maraming lugar ang lubog sa baha ngayon dahil sa umiiral na habagat. Muling nagpapaalala ang Department of Energy sa ating mga kababayan na sundin ang mga sumusunod na paalala upang maiwasan ang mga sakuna, gaya ng pagkakuryente at iba pang pinsalang dulot ng kuryente.
