Alas kwatro na, mag 4Ts na!

Sa patuloy na pag-iwas sa dengue, isabuhay natin ang 4Ts:
TAOB: Itapon ang mga naipong tubig at itaob ang mga rasonableng lalagyan.
​TAKTAK: Ipagpag ang mga natitirang tubig na maaaring kapitan ng mga itlog ng lamok.
​TUYO: Patuyuin nang maigi ang mga lalagyan bago muling gamitin o itabi.
​TAKIP: Panatilihing may takip ang mga imbakan ng tubig upang hindi maitlugan ng lamok.

​Isang simpleng gawain araw-araw, malaking tulong para sa kaligtasan ng pamilya!

🦟 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵! 🍃

Pursuant to Proclamation No. 1204, June is observed as National Dengue Awareness Month in the Philippines. This annual observance aims to raise public awareness and encourage communities to work together in preventing and controlling dengue.

The City Health Office encourages everyone to practice the 5S Strategy Against Dengue:

🦟 Search and destroy mosquito breeding sites
🛡️ Secure self-protection by wearing long sleeves and using mosquito repellent
🏥 Seek early consultation at the first sign of fever or dengue symptoms
🚜 Support fogging or spraying in hotspot areas with clustering cases
💧 Sustain hydration, especially when experiencing fever

As dengue cases often rise during the rainy season, health centers, hospitals, local government units, schools, and community organizations conduct clean-up drives, health education activities, and dengue prevention campaigns throughout the month.

Together, let us keep our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities safe and dengue-free. 🦟❌💚

The National Nutrition Council Region I successfully conducted the Regional Monitoring and Evaluation of Local Level Planning and Implementation (MELLPI) on May 5-6, 2026 for the City of Candon and City Nutrition Action Officer Mr. Brando Castro, and on May 7, 2026 for Barangay Patpata 1st and the Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) Ms. Erlinda Galus.

The activity started with a courtesy call to the Chairman of the City Nutrition Council (CNC) and City Mayor Hon. Eric D. Singson, to the Vice Chairman of the CNC and City Vice Mayor Hon. Kristelle Singson, as well as to the Candon CNC members. The courtesy visit highlighted the strong support and commitment of the local government in strengthening nutrition programs and services for the community.

The Regional Nutrition Evaluation Team (RNET) was headed by Mr. Kendall Pilgrim Gatan, Officer-in-Charge of the National Nutrition Council (NNC) Region I; Mr. Shamrock Bas-ilan, Nutrition Officer II-NNC R1; Ms. Shara Cindy Xu, Nutrition Officer II-NNC R1; Mr. Bench Allen, Administrative Aide V-NNC R1; Mr. Arthur Aubrey A.

Based on the tentative assessment results, Candon City and Barangay Patpata 1st made a significant leap in performance this year compared to last year’s evaluation, reflecting the collective efforts and strengthened commitment of the city government, nutrition workers, and partner stakeholders in advancing nutrition governance and program implementation. The official results, however, will still be announced after the deliberation of the National Nutrition Council Region I.
