00:00So that the mosquitoes won't attack,

00:03the heavy wheels were removed from the roofs of a barangay in Quezon City.

00:09But they have other discards against dengue,

00:12especially when there's an outbreak of it in the city.

00:14Marisol Abdurrahman was able to stop it.

00:17Exclusive!

00:22The old wheels were removed from the roofs of houses in Barangay Old Balara in Quezon City.

00:28All of the discarded wheels are full of water.

00:30We can see that the wheels were removed,

00:33there's water.

00:34So after three days,

00:36it's already a mosquito that could be a carrier of dengue virus.

00:41The old wheels are usually used to weigh the roofs,

00:44just like this house.

00:46But the old wheels are usually the most affected by mosquitoes.

00:50So what Barangay Old Balara did,

00:52they replaced it with hollow blocks.

00:55This house has more than 30 old wheels on the roof.

00:59Why did you remove the old wheels from the roof?

01:04That's our only protection.

01:06We just put tarapal so that it won't fall down.

01:14We just put tarapal as a protection.

01:18The discarded wheels were replaced with hollow blocks.

01:21We don't have a problem with it.

01:23We understand that.

01:25Barangay Old Balara also welcomes Ross Biguiroy,

01:28especially his two children,

01:31who are afraid of dengue.

01:33He's trying to find a way to protect his children.

01:36Yesterday, we were smoking.

01:38I took a lot of lotion or cathol.

01:42The sari-sari stores that sell drinks are also closely monitored.

01:46They should not allow the bottles to be in the open

01:50and not placed in a secure place.

01:53If it rains, they will put water on it.

01:56So it can also be a source of mosquitoes.

02:00The cleanup drive was also successful,

02:02especially in 10 barangays

02:04where dengue cases are the highest in Old Balara.

02:07As of today, there are already 45 confirmed cases of dengue in the barangay.

02:12We don't want to reach a point where we will die in the barangay

02:15and we will have to find a way to move.

02:19The barangay is coordinating with the Department of Sanitation of Lugsod

02:23for proper disposal of the old wheels.

02:25According to the Department of Health,

02:27the number of cases of dengue in the country has decreased

02:30in the past four weeks.

02:32From 15,904 on January 5 to 18,

02:35it decreased to 15,134

02:39from January 19 to February 15.

02:41This is also due to the more active cleaning

02:44and higher human resources.

02:47For GMA Integrated News,

02:50Marisol Abdurrahman,

02:52Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
