IWASAN ANG DENGUE, PROTEKTAHAN ANG SARILI

Hindi lang paglilinis ng kapaligiran ang mahalaga sa pag-iwas sa dengue. Protektahan din ang sarili laban sa kagat ng lamok sa araw-araw.

Magsuot ng mahahabang pantalon, long sleeves, medyas, at saradong sapatos kung kinakailangan. Gumamit ng mosquito repellent at matulog sa loob ng kulambo upang mabawasan ang posibilidad na makagat ng lamok.

Kapag nakaranas ng lagnat o iba pang sintomas ng dengue, huwag maghintay na lumala ang kondisyon. Kumonsulta agad sa pinakamalapit na healthcare worker o health center para sa tamang pagsusuri at gabay.

Maging maagap, maging protektado. Sama-sama nating iwasan ang dengue.

Nagsagawa ang Provincial Department of Health Office Palawan ng Dengue Information and Education Campaign ngayong Setyembre 16, 2026, sa Manuel Austria Memorial Elementary School, Barangay San Manuel, Puerto Princesa City.

Pinangunahan nina Ms. Pilar Arnejo, Vector-Borne Disease Health Program Officer II, at Harvey Chua, Information Officer II, ang talakayan para sa mga mag-aaral mula Grade 3 hanggang Grade 6 tungkol sa dengue, mga senyales at sintomas nito, panganib na dulot ng sakit, at mga paraan upang maprotektahan ang sarili, pamilya, at komunidad.

Binigyang-diin din sa talakayan ang 5S Kontra Dengue ng Department of Health: Search and Destroy ng mga pamugaran ng lamok, Secure Self-Protection, Seek Early Consultation kapag may sintomas, Support Fogging and Spraying sa mga hotspot area kung kinakailangan, at Sustain Hydration lalo na kapag may lagnat.

Hinikayat ang mga mag-aaral na maging aktibong katuwang sa pagpigil sa dengue sa pamamagitan ng pagpapanatiling malinis ng kanilang kapaligiran at regular na pag-aalis ng mga lugar na maaaring pamugaran ng lamok.

Lubos na nagpapasalamat ang Provincial Department of Health Office Palawan sa punong-g**o at mga g**o ng Manuel Austria Memorial Elementary School sa kanilang mainit na pagtanggap, suporta, at pakikiisa sa pagpapalawak ng kaalaman ng mga mag-aaral laban sa dengue.

Ang Dengue Nagbabanta! Mag-5S Para Laging Handa!

September 15, 2026: The Vector-Borne Diseases Prevention and Control Program Puerto Princesa City Malaria Response Operations Center succesfully conducted a Malaria Surveillance and Targeted Testing and Treatment (TTAT) Operation in Puroks Zigzag and Kapalaran at Barangay Luzviminda.

A total of 170 blood smear slides were collected during the operation. Each specimen collected represents an opportunity for early detection, prompt management, and prevention of further transmission within the community.

This activity also highlights the dedication of our field personnel who demonstrates that malaria elimination is not achieved inside health facilities alone—it requires presence in the communities, persistent surveillance, teamwork, and a commitment to reach every person who may be at risk.

We would like to thank the officials and residents of Barangay Luzviminda for their participation, and to the Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc -Palawan for their continuous support towards a healthier, malaria-free Puerto Princesa.

Noong Huwebes, ika-3 ng Setyembre, 2026, matagumpay na idinaos ng Vector-Borne Diseases Prevention and Control Program Puerto Princesa City at Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc -Palawan ang Malaria Awareness Day Celebration para sa ating mga kapatid na katutubong Tagbanwa at Palaw’an sa Barangay Napsan. Naki-isa rin ang mga IPs na mula pa sa karatig-barangay ng Simpokan at Bagong Bayan, na sama-samang dumalo upang matuto, at maging katuwang sa kampanya kontra malaria.

Bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang, isinagawa ang blood smearing, Malaria IEC lecture at flyer distribution, at muling pagpapakilala ng programang “Bayanihan sa Barangay Targeted Indoor and Outdoor Spraying”.

Mas naging makabuluhan, masaya at makulay nang maging bahagi mismo ng programa ang ating mga kapatid na katutubo. Nagkaroon ng pag-awit gamit ang wikang Tagbanua at pagpapamalas ng isang tradisyunal na sayaw, na nagbigay-daan upang maipakita at mapahalagahan ang kanilang kultura at talento. At bilang munting pasasalamat sa kanilang pakikiisa, namigay ang aming team ng food packs bago sila umuwi sa kanilang mga barangay.

Ang ganitong mga pagtatanghal ay hindi lamang nagbigay-saya sa lahat, kundi nagsilbing paalala na ang kalusugan at kultura ay maaaring magsama sa isang makabuluhang bayanihan para sa komunidad.

Taos-pusong nagpapasalamat ang Vector-Borne Diseases Prevention and Control Program Puerto Princesa City at Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc -Palawan sa lahat ng naging katuwang upang maging matagumpay ang selebrayon na ito—sa mga opisyal ng Barangay Napsan, Bagong Bayan, at Simpokan, sa ating mga Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representatives, City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit CESU Puerto Princesa, Nutrition Office of Puerto Princesa City para sa kanilang kontribusyon sa pagpapakain ng ating mga kapatid na katutubo, Cdrrmo PPSCity para naman sa kanilang transportasyon, at higit sa lahat, sa City Mayor's Office - Puerto Princesa para sa kanilang dagdag suporta.

Sa ating mga kapatid na Tagbanua at Palaw’an, maraming salamat sa inyong pakikiisa, pakikipagtulungan, at pagbabahagi ng inyong kultura.

"Ligtas na Kapaligiran, Bunga ng Bayanihan, Kalusugan ay Ingatan, Malaria ay Wakasan."

The Vector-Borne Diseases Prevention and Control Program Puerto Princesa City is proud to share this progress of the Bayanihan sa Barangay – Targeted Indoor and Outdoor Residual Spraying (TIRS/TORS). With the continued support and participation of our partners, 62 out of 66 targeted barangays have successfully completed the Bayanihan sa Barangay initiative, achieving an impressive 93.94% accomplishment rate! With only 4 barangays remaining, we are getting closer to our goal of reaching all 66 barangays and strengthening community-led action against dengue, malaria, and other mosquito-borne diseases.

The Bayanihan sa Barangay aims to strengthen barangay participation in combating mosquito-borne diseases through a comprehensive, hands-on approach. This includes:
1. IEC lectures on Dengue and Malaria and their prevention and control
2. Hands-on demonstrations on the proper use of IRS spray cans and introduction to insecticides
3. Supervised practical exercises to build the skills and confidence of Barangay Health Volunteers
4. Distribution of initial supplies and equipment to support the continuous implementation of vector control activities at the barangay level

More than just a spraying activity, Bayanihan sa Barangay is about building knowledge, developing skills, providing the necessary tools, and empowering communities to take an active role in protecting their own barangays.

Towards a Healthier, Vector-Borne Disease-Free Puerto Princesa

Mag-TAOB, TAKTAK, TUYO at TAKIP!

Hindi kailangan ng matagal na oras para makatulong sa pag-iwas sa dengue. Suriin lamang ang inyong tahanan at paligid at alisin ang anumang maaaring pamugaran ng lamok.

Ugaliin natin ito araw-araw. Kapag sama-sama ang pamilya at komunidad, mas mahirap para sa dengue mosquito na makahanap ng lugar para dumami. 🦟🚫

July 15, 2026: Healthy employees build a stronger workplace. By promoting Malaria awareness and prevention, we help create safer work environments where everyone is equipped to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.

The Vector-Borne Diseases Prevention and Control Program Puerto Princesa City conducted a Wellness Talk on Malaria last Wednesday for the employees of Delta P, Inc. The session provided participants with essential knowledge on Malaria—its signs and symptoms, mode of transmission, effective preventive measures, and the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment.

To further strengthen Malaria prevention efforts, our team also conducted blood smearing for early malaria detection and distributed Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) to help protect employees and their families from mosquito bites.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Delta P, Inc. for partnering with us in promoting a healthier and malaria-free workplace. Special thanks also to Dra. Kristine Faith Evina-Rama for sharing her expertise and delivering an insightful talk on Malaria, inspiring participants to know it, prevent it, and end it.

June 24-26, 2026: The journey to a malaria-free Puerto Princesa doesn't end in the city proper—it reaches every household, even in our northernmost communities.

The Vector-Borne Diseases Prevention and Control Program Puerto Princesa City - Malaria Response Operations Center carried out LLIN distribution and blood smearing in the barangays of Tanabag, Binduyan, and San Rafael to protect vulnerable communities and strengthen malaria surveillance.

Every mosquito net distributed helps reduce the risk of malaria transmission, while every blood smear contributes to the early detection and prompt response needed to safeguard public health.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the barangay officials, health workers, and community members for their cooperation and support in making this activity a success.
