00:00While there is still no vaccine against dengue, the new campaign of the health department launched
00:05amid the rise of this case in the country.
00:07Raffi Thima was on the spot.
00:20At that time, the Department of Health formally launched their 4 o'clock anti-mosquito program.
00:25At that time, the health and city officials in Batasan Hills
00:30The water that can be collected should be poured,
00:33covered, dried, or covered.
00:38As part of the campaign, the water can be brought to a street
00:41where mosquitos can lay eggs.
00:43This just happened recently.
00:45It's good.
00:46What will you do at 4 o'clock?
00:48Clean up.
00:50Let's clean up.
00:51The DOH also provided hygiene kits and larva traps to residents of the barangay.
00:56The mosquitos lay eggs here.
00:58Then, they collect the larvae to kill them.
01:02There's pepper inside.
01:04Let's put it here.
01:07According to the health department,
01:08compared to the previous year,
01:10more than 251% of dengue cases were reported in Quezon City,
01:14one of the first outbreaks in the country.
01:17Here in Barangay Batasan,
01:19more than 200 cases of dengue were reported.
01:22Currently, the contra-dengue vaccine is being reviewed
01:24when it is being applied to be sold in the Philippines.
01:26That's why the most effective way to fight contra-dengue is to open the mosquito net
01:30and their nests through cleaning.
01:33Aside from Quezon City,
01:35the program was also launched in different places in Visayas and Mindanao.
01:38At 4 p.m., residents need to clean up every day to avoid dengue.
01:44It can be a hemorrhagic shock.
01:46That's more serious.
01:48Because when you have the first infection,
01:50the second or third can be fatal to you.
