Dengue Advocacy & Community Clean-Up Drive
The Barangay Sta. Barbara community came together for a Dengue Advocacy and Community Mobilization Clean-Up Drive, spearheaded by Punong Barangay Hon. Junaid M. Musa, together with the Barangay Officials and dedicated Barangay Staff.
The activity focused on maintaining cleanliness and eliminating possible mosquito breeding sites, particularly stagnant water found in canals, containers, drainage areas, and other places where mosquitoes may lay their eggs.
As part of the clean-up effort, the team also placed salt in selected canals and stagnant-water areas. Salt can make water less suitable for mosquito larvae to survive, but this should only be used where appropriate and should not replace proper drainage, removal of stagnant water, and regular cleaning.
Kap. Junaid M. Musa encouraged all residents to take an active role in keeping their surroundings cleanβnot only during clean-up drives, but every day. He emphasized that dengue prevention starts at home and becomes stronger when the entire community works together.
π§Ή Clean surroundings, healthy community.
π¦ Remove stagnant water.
π§ Keep canals and drainage clean.
π‘ Check your surroundings regularly.
π€ Together, we can prevent dengue!
