Kibungan National High School Strengthens Dengue Prevention Through Installation of Treated Mosquito Nets
Kibungan National High School continues to prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of its learners through the successful installation of treated mosquito nets in classrooms on August 5, 2026.
This initiative was made possible through the support of the Municipal Health Office (MHO) as part of its ongoing Dengue Prevention and Control Program, which aims to help reduce the risk of dengue transmission in the community. The treated mosquito nets were provided to the school to serve as an additional layer of protection against mosquito bites, helping create a safer and healthier learning environment for students, teachers, and school personnel.
The mosquito nets were delivered by Mr. Epifanio Macario Jr., RMT, of the Kibungan Rural Health Unit (RHU) and a member of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDDRMO). The materials were formally received by the school's Administrative Aides on behalf of Kibungan National High School. Following their turnover, the nets were installed in the identified classrooms under the supervision of the School Nurse Rachel L. Baniqued with the assistance of school personnel.
The activity supports the school's broader dengue prevention efforts, which include health education campaigns, environmental sanitation, source reduction activities, and regular monitoring of potential mosquito breeding sites within the school premises.
Through this intervention, all identified classrooms were equipped with treated mosquito nets, and school personnel were oriented on their proper use and maintenance. This measure is expected to enhance protection for learners and employees while reinforcing the school's commitment to maintaining a conducive and healthy learning environment.
Kibungan National High School extends its sincere gratitude to the Municipal Health Office, particularly Mr. Epifanio Macario Jr., RMT, and all partners who continue to support the school's health and safety initiatives. This collaborative effort reflects the strong partnership between the school and local government agencies in safeguarding the welfare of every learner and promoting a dengue-free community.
