     Good day everyone!. I am Justine Ross C. Tobello, from national teachers college, and I am here to discuss one of the social problem here in our country. what is it? It is the “alarming” waste problem. 

     Yes you heard it right. Our countries waste problem is alarming now a days, for it can harm our environment by flood and pollution, waste problem can also affect our safety and health.  As the population continuously increases, our countries waste generation also increased. According to Senate Economic Planning Office (SEPO) residential areas produce the most amount of solid wastes at 57 percent, while wastes from commercial establishments, institutional sources, and industrial or manufacturing sector accounted for 27 percent, 12 percent, and 4 percent of the total waste generated, as we can see....along the way or even in our rivers there are a lot of trash or waste here in the Philippines specially in Manila.  

Dengue has been a long and still ongoing problem not only in our country, but all over the world. Dengue is a pandemic-prone viral disease that is rapidly emerging in many parts of the world. Dengue develop most commonly in areas with lack of improper waste management, it can  affect poor urban areas, suburbs or even the countryside, but mostly dengue flourishes in the neighborhoods in tropical and subtropical countries like the our country  the Philippines.

Dengue is known as the world’s fastest vector borne disease. A from infected blood sucking arthropods such as mosquito, ticks, mites and many more. Mosquito transfer the virus through the bites of an infected female that the female acquired while it feeds on the blood of an infected person. He dengue infection rate are higher during daytime that’s why children are more prone to dengue because some children prefer to play outside during daytime and their immune system is not that strong compared to an adult.

Dengue is a virus and it has no known cure or no specific medicine to treat it. The only thing you can do is use pain relievers or other medicine relieve it symptoms. That is why it’s hard to be infected with dengue because you can only rely on rest and your body's immune system to fight it off. Dengue if not taken care of it can become deadly and many people died from dengue because they have been overlooked by governments treatment or simply because they have a weak immune system. That is why the dengue issue cannot be overlooked by the community because its effect is catastrophic to our country’s citizens.

         Dengue is deadly but it’s not unstoppable there are many  ways to counter dengue one is to promote proper discipline towards proper waste segregation to keep the mosquito and to stop  its place for  breeding, two is for the people to have proper hygiene and have good amount  of knowledge towards the dengue epidemic. Mosquitoes are attracted to places with more bacteria because it’s a more suitable place for them to place their larvae, and if a certain vicinity is a filthy place then it can surely be a mosquito breeding  ground and the chances of that vicinity to develop  dengue will be higher. That is why it is important for the people to be knowledgeable, aware and disciplined towards the dengue epidemic.
