PHGuiuan, a town in Eastern Samar, Philippines, has launched an intensified environmental sanitation campaign to combat a rise in dengue cases. From January to mid-July, the town recorded 16 confirmed dengue cases, with nine of those cases concentrated in Barangay Salug. Mayor Annaliza Gonzales-Kwan issued an executive order requiring all 60 barangays to conduct weekly clean-up drives, remove potential mosquito breeding sites such as stagnant water and clogged drains, and improve waste management. The campaign includes coordination with the Municipal Health Office for education efforts and vector control operations. Residents are being urged to participate in these efforts through household-level actions.
