Village offers P1 per mosquito
(UPDATE) A VILLAGE in Mandaluyong City is now offering a P1 bounty for every mosquito caught or killed as part of efforts to curb a surge in dengue. The local government of Barangay Addition Hills said it has even prepared an aquarium to house larvae that will then be killed. In an interview with GMA News, the village chief said the reward is being offered to residents as the number of dengue cases in their area has increased. The campaign is set to start on Friday, Feb. 21. Earlier, the Department of Health (DOH) had warned that aside from Quezon City, eight other local government units have experienced a surge in dengue cases. DOH spokesman Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo, however, did not specify which LGUs they were.
