To address the rising number of dengue cases in our municipality, a Search and Destroy activity was conducted to eliminate mosquito breeding sites in the community.

However, dengue prevention must be a continuous effort. We encourage every household to practice the 4 O’Clock Habit daily by searching for and destroying potential mosquito breeding sites in and around their homes.

Together, let us make dengue prevention a shared responsibility and keep our community safe and healthy.

To w**e or not to w**e: what a new study shows about alcohol and cancer deaths.

For years, we’ve been told that moderate drinking can fit into (or is even a useful part of) a healthy lifestyle. But that ignores the fact that alcohol has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen for decades.

A new study looked at alcohol-linked cancer deaths in the U.S. from 1990 to 2023, and the results are sobering.

The number of alcohol-linked cancer deaths has doubled since 1990, with the heaviest burden on men and adults aged 55 and up.

Swipe through to learn more about how this study was conducted and what its findings mean for our drinking habits (spoiler alert: less is better, but none is best).

Libre ba ang bakuna sa Bakuna Eskwela?

Oo. Makukuha nang libre ang mga bakuna sa mga pampublikong paaralan tuwing Bakuna Eskwela at health facilities.

Kung ang mga ito ay bibilhin sa pribadong klinika o health facility, aabot ng halos 13,000 ang magagastos mo.

🩷🩵 Some babies leave this world far too soon, but the love they leave behind lasts a lifetime. 🕊️
This October, we remember the little ones who will never be forgotten, the parents who carry their memories in silence, and the families whose hearts hold a love that words can never fully express. 🤍
To every parent grieving a baby, your loss matters. Your baby matters. And you never have to justify the depth of your love or your grief. 🫂
May every little life be remembered, every grieving heart be met with kindness, and every family know they are not alone. 🦋🌷
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever part of us. 🤍

May sakit bang mararamdaman ang aking anak pagkatapos mabakunahan?

Karaniwang banayad o panandalian lamang ang mga reaksyon pagkatapos mabakunahan tulad ng:

✅ Lagnat;
✅ Pananakit o pamamaga sa bahaging tinurukan; o
✅ Pagkahilo

Tanda ang mga ito na gumagana ang proteksyon ng bakuna sa inyong anak.

Upang makatulong na maiwasan ang pagkahilo, panatilihing nakaupo ang bata nang 15–30 minuto pagkatapos mabakunahan.

✅ Kung makaranas ng anumang
hindi pangkaraniwang o malubhang reaksyon, agad itong ipagbigay-alam sa health worker o sa pinakamalapit na health facility para sa angkop na pagsusuri at pangangalaga.
