TV host Kris Aquino is the health department’s newest poster girl in its efforts to swat the deadly dengue fever that has stricken more than 50,000 Filipinos nationwide this year.

Health director and head executive assistant Yolando Oliveros said that Kris on Friday volunteered to be an anti-dengue advocate for free, an offer the health agency was unlikely to turn down.
