The Parañaque City local government will conduct a synchronized clean-up drive and fogging activities on April 3 and 4 in the city’s six barangays with reported dengue cases.
Mayor Eric Olivarez said the clean-up and fogging drives will be conducted at Barangays BF Homes in Samaploc Site II; Marcelo Green in Severina 18 and SAVVY Subdivision; San Antonio on Sta. Magdalena Street, Don Aguedo Street, San Antonio Valley 3 and Hernandez Avenue; Don Bosco on France Street, Greee Street, Iraq and Libya Street in Better Living Subdivision; Sun Valley in Cul de Sac and Moonwalk in Area A and B at Airport Village.
Olivarez is asking for the help and full cooperation of the residents to prevent the increase of cases and escalation to a full-blown dengue outbreak in the city.
He said the city has already reached the dengue alert threshold following the death of a resident in Barangay Moonwalk.
The mayor on March 24 issued a memorandum alerting residents on the alarming increase of dengue cases in the city.
In his memorandum addressed to the Punong Barangay and Council, Department of Education (DepEd)- School Division Office of Parañaque, City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), Public Information Office and the Parañaque Homeowners Association, Olivarez called for a united action in combating dengue cases by intensifying preventive and control measures.
