The rest of the evacuees numbering 2,507 families or 13,805 individuals were staying in 13 other evacuation centers.
Agbulos and Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar led five days ago a clean-up drive at the evacuation centers.
Health personnel fumigated the evacuation sites and poured salt into stagnant water where dengue-carrying mosquitoes would likely breed.[]
Salazar told the evacuees cleaning their surroundings is for their own welfare.
Meanwhile, Agbulos said they were constantly monitoring the drinking water to prevent other diseases.
He said they have also advised the evacuees to immediately seek medical help at the health centers if they feel they have contracted a disease.[]
