After thorough deliberation, the members of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MDRRMC) have recommended that the Sangguniang Bayan declare the Municipality under a State of Calamity due to the escalating number of dengue cases.
As of this writing, the Municipal Health Office has recorded a total of 134 cases, placing the municipality in the top 10 in the Province of Iloilo for the most cases.
With this declaration, the Municipality will gain access to the Quick Response Fund from the MDRRMC, enabling the effective implementation of its Response Plan to combat the disease.
