Share Health and local government officials in Ilagan, Isabela have expressed alarm over confirmed reports of two more deaths due to dengue hemorrhagic fever, coupled with a sudden rise of typhoid fever cases.

This means that the campaign of health authorities in Zamboanga del Sur against dengue is paying off, disclosing that from 46 cases in August, it went down to 35 in September while data for October is yet unavailable.

"This is good indication of our success in preventing dengue," Arao said.

Last August, Governor Antonio H. Cerilles called on communities, mayors, punong barangays, health workers and residents to take their brooms and dust pans and clean their surroundings.
