There is also a health-related issue in Purok Galingan, the rise of dengue

cases. The City Health Office confirmed to us that Barangay Mankilam is the third
in all barangays in Tagum City in terms of dengue cases and Purok Galingan has the
highest case in all purok in Barangay Mankilam. The City Health Office also told us
that the problem is connected to the poor waste management of the purok. In line
with is, we would like to propose a plan to orient the community on the connection
of poor waste disposal and mosquito-born diseases through a seminar.
