Fogging, misting conducted in Angeles City schools

ANGELES CITY — The city government here has conducted fogging and misting activities in 47 out of 53 public schools to ensure the safety of students and teachers from dengue, as face-to-face classes started last August. 

The Anti-Dengue Task Force, formed from the City Health Office Sanitation Division, will be deployed in the remaining six public schools to carry out the fogging and misting in the coming days. 

Gusto kong masigurado na ligtas ang ating mga mag-aaral at guro laban sa dengue, kaya naman patuloy ang ginagawa nating fumigation activities sa mga public schools,” Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. shared.

Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel supervised the said fumigation operation which started on Aug. 1.

The schedule is being prepared by Angeles City Economic Development Investment Promotions Office Chief Irish Bonus-Llego. 

Meanwhile, Department of Education Angeles City Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ma. Irelyn Tamayo expressed her sincere gratitude to Mayor Lazatin for the ongoing fumigation in public schools in the city.

“These fumigation activities are a great help to protect our learners from dengue. Our salute po to our LGU for always thinking of the welfare of our public schools,” Dr. Tamayo said.

Manuel elaborated that aside from the fogging and misting program, the city government is also conducting the 4S strategy — search and destroy, self-protection measures, seek early consultation, say yes to fogging in case of outbreak — against dengue in public schools and the 33 barangays.

Ang inisyatibong ito ni Mayor Lazatin ay para macontain at mapuksa ang mga lamok na nagdadala ng sakit na dengue,” Manuel emphasized. 

Isikiel Kim from the misting and fogging team also shared that the city is also monitoring the dengue cases in hospitals to immediately conduct fogging and misting where the patient resides. 

Sa lahat ng mga hospital dito sa Angeles, nakamonitor parati ang city government para kung may dengue case eh mapuntahan agad yung lugar nung patient para magfog at mist,” Kim shared.
