TINGNAN: Nag-abiso ang Mandaluyong CDRRMD na iwasan ang paglabas ng bahay, magsuot ng facemask (N95 at KN95), at isara ang mga bintana dahil sa “Very Unhealthy” na air quality na nararanasan sa lungsod. (📷: Mandaluyong CDRRMD) | via Darylle Sarmiento, ABS-CBN News

ADVISORY: MAGSUOT NG FACE MASK SA PAGLABAS NG BAHAY 😷

Inaabisuhan ng Manila City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department ang lahat ng Manileño na magsuot ng face mask kapag lalabas ng bahay, alinsunod sa patuloy na pagmomonitor sa kalagayan ng kalidad ng hangin sa Kapitolyo ng bansa.

Batay sa Air Quality Index (AQI) mula sa apat na monitoring locations sa ilalim ng Hinga Maynila Program ngayong Abril 11, 2026, alas-5:00 ng hapon, naitalang nasa “Fair” ang Anda Circle, San Sebastian Residences, at Sta. Ana Hospital, habang ang Puregold Tayuman ay nasa antas na “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.”

Dahil dito, maaaring makaranas ng hindi magandang epekto sa kalusugan ang mga kabilang sa sensitibong sektor, lalo na ang mga bata, senior citizens, buntis, at mga may iniindang sakit sa baga, puso, o hika. Pinapayuhan ang mga may respiratory illness tulad ng asthma na iwasan o limitahan ang outdoor activities sa mga lugar na apektado ng UFSG level ng hangin.

Ayon sa monitoring, maaaring maiugnay ito sa makapal na usok mula sa nagpapatuloy na sunog sa Navotas Sanitary Landfill, na umaabot sa Metro Manila at mga karatig-lalawigan.

Pinapayuhan ang publiko na maging maingat, limitahan ang matagal na pananatili sa labas kung hindi kinakailangan, at ugaliing magsuot ng face mask bilang pag-iingat laban sa masamang epekto ng maruming hangin.

Patuloy pong minomonitor ng mga kinauukulang tanggapan ng Pamahalaang Lungsod ang sitwasyon upang matiyak ang kaligtasan at kapakanan ng bawat Manileño.

PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT: TB CASES SURGING IN METRO MANILA

The Department of Health (DOH) has raised concern over a sharp rise in Tuberculosis (TB) cases—especially in Metro Manila—with over 101,807 cases recorded as of February 16, 2026.

DOH Undersecretary Albert Domingo warns that TB is airborne, meaning it spreads through tiny droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or even talks—making it highly contagious, especially in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces.

⸻

Key Updates (March 2026)

• NCR hotspot: Over 100,000 cases recorded in just the first 6 weeks of 2026
• Airborne spread: TB bacteria can stay in the air longer than many viruses in enclosed areas
• Post-pandemic effect: Lockdowns may have increased exposure indoors
• High global burden: PH accounts for ~6.8% of global TB cases
• Mass screening goal: DOH + World Health Organization targeting 12 million Filipinos for screening by end of 2026

⸻

⚠️ Watch for Symptoms

If you or someone you know has:
• Cough lasting 2 weeks or more
• Chest pain or coughing up blood
• Weight loss, fever, or night sweats

- Get checked immediately at your nearest health center

⸻

💊 Good News: TB is CURABLE

✔️ Treatment is FREE under the National TB Program & PhilHealth
✔️ Standard treatment lasts 4–6 months
✔️ Completing medication is critical to avoid drug-resistant TB

⸻

🛑 Simple Prevention Tips

• Wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces
• Improve ventilation (open windows, use fans)
• Cover your mouth when coughing/sneezing
• Seek early testing if symptomatic

⸻

📌 Why This Matters

TB is often overlooked, but it remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the Philippines. Early detection and treatment don’t just save lives—they help stop the spread.
