General Oscar Albayalde, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), ordered Wednesday all police commanders to monitor the health condition of all policemen and their dependents amid the declaration of national dengue epidemic in the country.
At the same time, Albayalde tasked the PNP Health Service to coordinate with the Department of Health to help in raising public awareness on the prevention of dengue.
“We have not received any report so far that policemen and their dependents were affected by dengue. But we are now making actions for prevention because once dengue affected any member of the policemen’s family, this would definitely affect their job,” said Banac.
