No let-up in QC drive

DESPITE a decline in the number of dengue cases in Quezon City, Mayor Herbert Bautista on Friday said there is no letup in their cleanup drive because dengue is a year-round concern.

Bautista tasked the city government’s Barangay Operations Center to spearhead the clearing operations of clogged drainage and riverways and an intensified information campaign.

Jorge Felipe, BOC head, recommended the strict enforcement of all environmental sanitation laws and regulations related to garbage disposal in order to remove all possible breeding grounds of mosquitoes.

According to Bautista, the synchronized cleanup is the contribution of the barangays to the city’s celebration of its 77th founding anniversary.
