00:00To reduce the number of dengue cases, the Department of Health launched a new campaign on cleanliness of the environment.
00:12Vaccinated people are now being reviewed against dengue that applies to be sold in the country.
00:17Here is my report.
00:30At that time, the Department of Health formally launched their 4 a.m. anti mosquito program.
00:36At that time, health and city officials in Batasan Hills barangay are going around to clean up.
00:41Those who can collect water should be washed, wiped, dried, or covered.
00:48In Sinita, there is a large stream of water on a street that can be used by mosquitoes to lay eggs.
00:53This just happened recently. It's good.
00:56What will you do every 4 a.m.?
00:59Clean up. Let's clean up.
01:02DOH also provided hygiene kits and larva traps to the residents of the barangay.
01:06You see, the mosquitoes are laying eggs here.
01:09Then, they will collect the eggs to kill.
01:12There's pepper inside.
01:14Let's put it here.
01:17According to the Department of Health, compared to last year,
01:20more than 251% of dengue cases were reported in Quezon City,
01:24one of the first outbreaks in the country.
01:27Here in Batasan Village, one in more than 200 people are infected with dengue.
01:32Currently, contra-dengue vaccine is being approved for sale in the Philippines.
01:37That's why the most effective way to fight contra-dengue is to open the mosquito net
01:41and their infected area by cleaning.
01:44Aside from Quezon City, programs were also launched in different places in Visayas and Mindanao.
01:49After 4 p.m., residents need to clean up every day to avoid dengue.
01:54It can be hemorrhagic, shock, that's the most serious.
01:58Because if you have the first infection, the second or third can kill you.
