ANTI-DENGUE SPRAYING

The City Health Services Offices through its Sanitation Division under Engr. Charles Bryan Carame conducts anti-dengue spraying operations in targeted barangays particularly those with a critical number of cases. It is advised that every household should apply the DOH 4-S Strategy which stands for the “Search and Destroy” mosquito-breeding sites within the household, “Self-protection measures” such as applying mosquito repellent and wearing of long sleeve shirts and pants, “Seek early consultation” and “Support fogging/spraying” at identified mosquito breeding spots.

The city’s anti-dengue operation is supported by S.C. Johnson represented by Area Manager Jayson Areno and their local distributor partner in Region 1, Granville Supply Chain Inc., represented by Operation Manager Sandy Almanzor. 

The companies provided Baygon Multi-Insect Spray to the City Health Services Office through the City Mayor’s Office.

Mayor Benjamin Magalong has ordered a more aggressive campaign to avoid cases from further shooting up in the third and last quarters of the year as what was experienced in 2021. 

The city has recorded a total of 216 cases from Jan. 1 to May 28 which is a 120% increase from the number of cases during the same period last year.  Photos by Neil Clark Ongchangco
