In response to the alarming surge of dengue cases, with Barangay Carmen ranking highest in reported incidents, Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation (PDO), through its corporate social responsibility arm, the ICCP Group Foundation, Inc. (IGFI), has implemented proactive measures to combat the spread of the disease through a comprehensive dengue prevention campaign.

Conducted in partnership with the Local Government Unit and the City Health Office, the initiative focuses on the effective implementation of the 5S Strategy: Searching and destroying mosquito-breeding sites, Self-protection measures, Seeking early consultation, Supporting fogging for impending outbreaks, and Sustaining hydration within the community.
As part of this effort, PDO and IGFI have distributed Dengue NS1 Antigen Test Kits to each host community, enabling swift detection and response to potential outbreaks. This intervention aims not only to prevent but also to eradicate the breeding grounds of dengue-causing mosquitoes, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
