A special highlight of the culmination was the Recognition and Awarding of Outstanding Barangays for their exemplary efforts in dengue prevention and control. Congratulations to Barangay Plaridel, Barangay Sewahon, and Barangay Colonia Divina for achieving Zero Dengue Cases in 2025. We also commend Barangay Maquiling and Barangay Bato for recording the Highest Decrease in Dengue Cases, reflecting the effectiveness of their community-based dengue prevention initiatives.
