The City Government of Caloocan, through the City Environmental Management Department (CEMD) and the Public Safety and Traffic Management Department (PSTMD), conducted fogging and declogging operations in various barangays to prevent a possible dengue outbreak in local communities.
City Mayor Dale Gonzalo Malapitan commended the CEMD and the PSTMD for their combined initiatives to put up anti-mosquito measures especially in areas near creeks and other waterways.
“Wala pong patid ang pagtutulungan ng CEMD and PSTMD na magsagawa ng mga paraan kontra sa pagdami ng lamok sa mga komunidad, lalo na ng fogging operations at paglilinis ng mga kanal at estero upang maiwasan na pamugaran ng mga lamok,” Malapitan said.
Malapitan also reminded his constituents to maintain the cleanliness of their respective localities and encouraged parents to take action in protecting their children against mosquito bites.
“Mas apektado po ng dengue ang mga bata kaya dapat ay mabantayan natin nang maigi ang kanilang kalusugan lalo na ngayong dengue season sa pamamagitan ng mga mosquito repellant, pagsusuot ng damit na may mahahabang manggas, at pag-iwas sa mga masusukal at maduduming lugar,” the local chief executive said.
