CHO spokesperson Melodina Babante reported the cases in 2025 were 3,225, representing a 53.54% decrease from 7,175 cases in 2024. According to the dengue alert and epidemic thresholds, the number of cases remained below the alert level. Babante said the reduction of the cases can be attributed to the creation and enforcement of the Barangay Mosquito-Borne Disease Task Force (BMDTF). “The Barangay Mosquito-Borne Disease Task Force within the barangay is a big help since they can immediately take action on concerns about dengue problems,” Babante added. Babante said this can be observed in the distribution of dengue cases in the 182 barangays.
