Gov Edgar Chatto Leads Provincewide Campaign against Dengue
« on: September 20, 2010, 08:59:16 AM »
In a more serious campaign on dengue awareness, Gov. Edgar Chatto launched last Friday a province-wide massive clean-up against the disease that has already killed eight this year.

The governor, whose younger sister died of the dreaded mosquito-borne ailment some 40 years ago, urged all sectors to conduct simultaneous clean-ups in "appropriate areas of their choice" during the launching of the Bohol Clean-up Versus Dengue and Other Diseases from 1:30 in the afternoon to 6:00 in the evening last Friday.

"The life you save may be that of your loved one," Chatto said in his memo-circular "call(ing) for unity in the combat against dengue."
         
The governor likewise urged the cellphone owners/holders to spread this text message: "Save Lives…Join the Bohol Clean-up Versus Dengue and Other Diseases."

By texting alone, one can become a contagious agent of dengue eradication, which is hoped to be gradual yet dramatic, if not abrupt.

Chatto called on the members of the cross-section of the Boholano community to "unite and do" their part as citizens who have social responsibilities.

The simultaneous massive clean-up province-wide mobilized the officials and workers of the provincial, city, municipal and barangay governments, national agencies, both public and private schools, NGOs, POs, civic clubs, business community, religious sector, etcetera.

Dengue cases have been rising in alarming rate in certain areas in Tagbilaran, now the region's second "dengue city," and are feared to even more than double the number last year.

Health authorities have been calling for a strong adherence to the so-called "4S" against dengue---search and destroy, self-protection measures, seek early consultation, and say "No" to indiscriminate fogging. (Ven rebo Arigo)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
