Treñas also thanked everyone who contributed to this effort and expressed excitement to continue working together to build a prosperous future for Iloilo City.

City government officials are scheduled to present before a panel of judges on September 23 in McKinley Town Center, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

The city will highlight its significant initiatives on fast-tracking sustainable local economic development, ease of doing business, investment promotion, and enhancing sectoral competitiveness.

PCCI annually recognizes LGUs that have demonstrated outstanding efforts in instituting good governance reforms to promote trade and investments, transparency, accountability, and efficiency in delivering business services to generate inclusive and sustainable growth and fast-track local economic development in their localities.

HAPPY 87TH ILOILO CITY CHARTER DAY!

On this day, 87 years ago, Iloilo City was officially inaugurated as a chartered city under the leadership of then Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon.

Anchored on the theme “Rise, Iloilo City: Remarkable Ilonggos Sustaining Excellence @ 87,” we honor our rich history and the community spirit that has shaped our city. Most importantly, we celebrate the enduring values embodied by Ilonggos across generations, which have guided us toward sustainable growth and development.

Here's to celebrating the legacy that makes our city special and looking forward to the brighter future that awaits!

AUGUST 21 IS NINOY AQUINO DAY

"There is no greater nation on earth than our Motherland. No greater people than our own. Serve them with all your heart, with all your might, and with all your strength."

The Ilonggo community commemorates the 40th anniversary of the death of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

As we honor this day of his life, may we also be reminded of how he fought for freedom and democracy, which remained an inspiration to all of us.

Let us live and stand by the values he embodied: courage, honesty, and strong patriotism.

ILOILO CITY’S HYDRATION UNIT REOPENS AS DENGUE CASES SURGE

Iloilo City’s hydration facility for dengue patients located at the second floor of La Paz Maternity and Reproductive Health Center in La Paz district reopens Wednesday, Aug. 21 with referral protocols in place.

Dr. Annabelle Tang, head of the City Health Office (CHO), said the facility has 30 hospital beds available for dengue patients, who mainly require hydration and constant monitoring, and do not exhibit warning signs as per the Department of Health's (DOH) guidelines.

Tang emphasized that given the continued threat posed by COVID-19, the facility will not be accepting consultation or walk-in, but only referral cases.

The hydration unit will only cater to patients referred by the city district health centers or private health facilities, with results of both dengue and COVID-19 tests.

The facility was initially activated during the 2019 dengue outbreak, before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when patients could simply walk in for treatment without virus-related concerns.

“The reason why we will not be accepting COVID-positive patients is because if ever may co-infection ang pasyente, they will tend to progress sa indi amo later on. Our facility is a mere hydration unit, this is not a hospital, we are not equipped to address kon may COVID kag mag-progress ang iya COVID basi maglala,” Tang explained.

Patients assisted by the district health centers that will be tested positive for both dengue and COVID will be referred for admission to the hospital.

All district health centers across the city have designated dengue fast lanes to prioritize prompt consultation and care for symptomatic individuals. These centers are also offering free dengue tests to facilitate early detection.

Meanwhile, an air-conditioned tent has been established near the Uswag Molecular Laboratory in Molo for patients needing hydration care while awaiting the results of their RT-PCR tests.

Individuals who test negative for dengue but positive for COVID-19 will be recommended for home quarantine if their condition is manageable. Should hospitalization be necessary, they will be referred to a hospital. Only patients tested positive for dengue and have mild symptoms will be directed to the hydration unit.

Based on CHO data, from Jan. 1 to Aug. 17 this year, there are now a total of 775 dengue cases in Iloilo City with three deaths. The figure is 43.3 percent higher compared to the same period last year. Children from one to 10 years old are the most affected age group.

Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna, CHO assistant department head, noted that the number of dengue cases registered on Week 31 have reached the alert and epidemic threshold, with 159 cases and continue to surge and reached epidemic threshold on Week 32 with 155 cases. However, the cases significantly dropped to 40 only on Week 33.

“Ang trending medyo panaog na sya. Based man sa three-year history sang dengue sa syudad sang Iloilo, after the Week 34, amat amat na panaog ang aton cases. We will closely monitor the cases and gina-hope naton nga indi na sya mag-sige saka,” said Fortuna.

The CHO reiterates the importance of 4S Strategy (Search and destroy breeding places; Self-Protection; Seek early consultation; and Support spraying to prevent impending outbreak against dengue).

“Kabay pa ang joint effort sang City Health and the community, and of course with the leadership of Mayor Jerry Treñas, ma-sige sige naton sustain panaog ang cases,” Tang added. (Iloilo City PIO)
