00:00After declaring a dengue outbreak in Quezon City due to the continuous increase in the number of dengue cases,

00:07residents of Barangay Old Balara are intensifying its measures against the mosquito-borne illness.

00:13The barangay is mulling releasing a frog into the river and other places to help combat dengue.

00:21In 2018 and 2019, Barangay Old Balara also released frogs

00:26after two persons reportedly died and nearly 200 people were stricken with dengue.

00:32However, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources or DENR

00:37and the Department of Health or DOH does not support this solution

00:43as it has not been proven effective in fighting the illness.

00:49The barangay says it will follow the government's orders

00:52and will instead focus on intensifying its information dissemination drive.
