DOST, through its National Capital Region office, has also began training teachers  who  will serve  as OL Trap coordinators. Said coordinators learn the procedures of using the OL Trap and preparing monitoring reports. They also learn more about dengue and other anti-dengue initiatives of the government.

“It’s not rocket science,” said Department of Education Undersecretary Jesus Lorenzo Mateo. “The OL Trap is a very simple technology but is effective in helping decrease dengue cases among schoolchildren.“

“We are happy that DOST and the Department of Health is partnering with DepEd in this project,” Mateo added. (Framelia V. Anonas, S&T Media Service)
