This alert covers all DOH Central Office, regional Centers for Health Development, and hospitals, ensuring readiness to respond to medical needs during the Holy Week period.

Avoid direct sunlight between 9 am and 4 pm

Rest well and avoid drunk driving
Choose dry and sour food for packed lunches, avoiding perishable items

In the event of a medical emergency, Domingo reminds the public to call the nationwide emergency hotline, 911.
