With the unpredictable rainy weather, the risk of mosquito breeding sites has significantly increased, posing a serious threat to public health. Hence, we must remain proactive in our efforts to eliminate potential breeding grounds. This initiative is a crucial step in strengthening regional measures to control dengue and reduce the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases.
As part of this initiative, all government offices, including the LGUs, schools, and universities, are encouraged to adopt and intensify the following strategies:
