Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, hundreds of volunteers from the City Government, agencies and the private sector organized a cleanup activity against dengue, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…
More than 500 volunteers from the Muntinlupa City Government, partner agencies, and private companies conducted a simultaneous cleanup activity to prevent the spread of dengue.
Under the “Dengue, ‘Di Pwede!” campaign, they collected over 110 sacks of solid waste from streets, canals, and creeks all over the city.
Officials from the Muntinlupa City Health Office conducted a lecture before the cleanup activity to provide information on ways to avoid dengue and what to do in case one gets sick.
From Jan. 1 to June 3 this year, the CHO recorded 80 dengue cases in Muntinlupa with zero deaths compared to 81 during the same period last year.
Barangays Alabang and Cupang had the highest cases with 17 each, followed by Putatan (13), Poblacion (11), Bayanan (9), Tunasan (8), Buli (3), Sucat (2) and Ayala Alabang (0).
Cupang had the highest dengue attack rate at 2.9 per 10,000 population
Volunteers signed up under the Make Your City Proud (MYCP) campaign, a program of the city government that encourages community members to participate in various activities.
