Turning a Province-Wide Directive Into Local Action
BOHOL - With Bohol facing a province-wide dengue outbreak, Gov. Erico Aris Aumentado has called on local government units to intensify prevention and response efforts through Executive Order No. 40, Series of 2026. The directive highlights the importance of coordinated action as communities work to address the growing public health concern. In Mabini, the provincial order is already being translated into concrete planning and collaboration at the municipal level. The approach puts preparedness and organized response at the center of the municipality’s efforts.
Mabini Brings Key Sectors Together
On September 7, 2026, the Municipal Multi-sectoral Dengue Response and Action-Planning Conference was held at the Mabini Primary Care Facility. The gathering brought together local officials, barangay representatives, health workers, and other stakeholders to assess the dengue situation and determine priority actions for the municipality. Supporting the local response from the Provincial Health Office were Polizena Rances, Elma Lumanas, and Dan Blyke Bantugan. Bringing these groups together provides an opportunity to strengthen communication, clarify responsibilities, and coordinate measures across communities.
Planning Today for Safer Communities Tomorrow
The conference centered on a straightforward but important goal: understand the situation, plan together, and act on what needs to be done. By connecting the province-wide directive with action at the municipal and barangay levels, Mabini demonstrates how local coordination can contribute to a broader dengue response. The involvement of health workers, community representatives, and local officials also reinforces the shared responsibility of preventing the spread of dengue. As Bohol continues its response, coordinated efforts like these can help communities remain informed, prepared, and proactive.
