Dr. Charee Taguba-Ong of East Avenue Medical Center said there are more dengue patients now that the rainy season has begun.
"Tumaas ang admission. At least 5 patients per day na since May to June compared to 1 to 2 patients per day from January to April," Taguba-Ong said.
Taguba-Ong added that since June, they had two mortalities -- children aged 4 and 7 who were brought to the hospital too late.
"Dumating po sila, 5 days nang nilalagnat. Pag ganun huwag ipasawalang bahala lalo na sa mga bata."
