"He said this [the dengue case figure] was three percent lower than during the same period in 2012, with Visayas having the most number of cases."

As usual I take issue with this - Our 2012 thread shows that 132,046 cases were reported to Oct 13 of that year http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showpost.php?p=473933&postcount=64 We are hitting a similar number 3 weeks earlier this year. I agree that fatalities are well down compared to last year's 701 by Oct 13.
