OPLAN “TAOB”
A SYNCHRONIZED CLEANING ACTIVITY TO ALL PUROKS IN BARANGAY LUCENA,
PROSPERIDAD, AGUSAN DEL SUR
JUNE 2, 2023

The Philippine government

established the National Dengue
Prevention and Control Program to
address this growing problem. The
program consists of case and vector
surveillance, case diagnosis and
management, integrated vector
management, outbreak response,
health promotion and advocacy,
and research. The Department of
Health has been focusing on
environmental control measures,
reminding citizens to make the “4
o'clock habit”, which involves
emptying water containers which
are potential Aedes breeding sites everyday, and some chemical control
measures (fogging during outbreaks) in its campaigns.
 However, the program has
struggled to meet its goals of
dengue reduction. One
significant barrier to its
success is the lack of
empowerment among the
stakeholders in taking
responsibility for dengue
prevention. Another problem
encountered was the challenge
of eradicating local breeding
sites, which are primarily water-
holding containers. In areas with
unreliable piped water, residents
store water in such containers.
Further, miscellaneous containers
are commonly kept by residents
as these can be used for other
purposes or even sold for
income. Lastly, inefficient
garbage collection services may
result in scattered trash that can
accumulate rainwater.

In order to prevent further increase and spread of

diseases in the Brgy Lucena, Prosperidad, Agusan del
Sur conducts OPLAN "TAOB" last June 2, 2023 in
celecration of the Dengue Awareness Month .
OPLAN "TAOB". One method to control or prevent
transmission of dengue virus is to combat the mosquito
vectors which may be achieved by preventing
mosquitoes from accessing egg laying
habitant/breeding sites. to raise awareness on Dengue
Fever Control and Prevention. The activity spearhead
by BLGU Lucena, Midwife and HRH Nurse, BHW, and community residents.
OPLAN TAOB is being carried out to fight and eliminate dengue-carrying
mosquitoes and protect ourselves and loved ones against dengue.
