Mandaluyong intensifies fight vs dengue
Mandaluyong City is intensifying its anti-dengue measures in response to a nationwide surge in cases.
Mayor Menchie Abalos noted that from January to May of the current year, dengue cases reached 110,000 nationwide, a significant increase from the 1,500 cases recorded in the entirety of the previous year.
The National Capital Region alone reported 19,000 cases within this period.
While the fatality rate appears lower this year, suggesting improved medical awareness and treatment, the rise in cases underscores the importance of community-wide efforts.
The city government will support the Department of Health's "Dengue-Free Philippines 2025" campaign.
Mayor Abalos views the prevalence of dengue as a reflection of the community's environment and the need for collective action.
