00:00The Department of Health's target is to make the entire Zamboanga Peninsula rabies-free.
00:05Because of this, Zamboanga City LGU will strengthen the information drive against rabies.
00:11This is the detail of Justin Bulanon of Radyo Pilipinas-Zamboanga.
00:17The vaccination against rabies is still in line here at Animal Rights Center in Zamboanga City.
00:22These scenarios were suggested by the local government when Rabies Awareness Month is approaching.
00:27In fact, the activities of LGU in Zamboanga City are already in place to strengthen the information drive against rabies
00:33and to reduce the number of dogs and cats that bite in the city.
00:37We have a watercade and then a shared program,
00:41which includes the info dissemination,
00:47film showing,
00:50so that we can disseminate information
00:55about the rabies control and eradication program.
01:00The Department of Health continues to target rabies cases so that the entire Region 9 can be declared rabies-free.
01:06As of now, only three towns in the province of Zamacacibugay have been declared rabies-free.
01:11According to the DOH, the supply of rabies vaccines in Zamboanga Peninsula is sufficient.
01:15Because our top priority is to clear the area as rabies-free,
01:20so for the entire Zamboanga Peninsula,
01:23out of the 72 areas,
01:27we have only three municipalities declared as rabies-free.
01:32In Zamboanga-Cibugay province,
01:35there are only Taunga, Mapulungay and Tagusan municipalities.
