Bicol health chief Ernie Vera urges local officials and communities to take heed of the government's anti-dengue strategy, saying its sustained enforcement can stem the number of dengue cases in the country.

Vera said the spike in dengue cases in the country could have been avoided if local officials only strictly enforced the government's anti-dengue strategy, with the help of local communities. Vera said that it was just the second time that the Philippines experienced a dengue outbreak. The first was in 1998.

“Our aim is to cut the cycle of mosquito borne disease and this could be done through collective efforts and institutionalization of anti-dengue drive campaign of the local government units,” he said.
