Dengue Fever

The death toll from dengue fever in the Philippines has reached 724 since the start of the year, the Department of Health said Thursday.

The deaths, recorded from January 1 to October 30, were up nearly 50 per cent from 485 fatalities in the same period last year.

The health department also recorded a total of 119,789 cases of dengue infections, an increase of more than 140 per cent from 49,319 a year ago.

Dr Lyndon Leesuy, manager of the department's National Dengue Control Program, urged local officials to step up efforts to inform residents in their communities about how to avoid getting dengue.

'We cannot go to your houses to eliminate the breeding sites of mosquitoes or to cover your water containers where mosquitoes can breed,' he said. 'We need the support of those in communities.'

Dengue is an infectious tropical fever causing acute pain in the joints. Symptoms include loss of appetite, general weakness, nausea and vomiting.

Mindanao Island

Mindanao is the second largest and easternmost island in the Philippines. It is also the name of one of the three island groups in the country, which consists of the island of Mindanao and smaller surrounding islands. The other two are Luzon and the Visayas. The island of Mindanao is called The Land of Promise. Mindanao is the only area of the Philippines with a significant Muslim presence. A guerrilla war is ongoing on the islands. In addition the crime rate on the island is the highest in the country overall. Mindanao is named after the Maguindanaons who constituted the largest Sultanate historically, and evidence from maps made during the 17th and 18th centuries suggests that the name was used to refer to the island by natives at the time. Evidence of human occupation dates back tens of thousands of years. In prehistoric times the Negrito people arrived. Sometime around 1500 BC Austronesian peoples spread throughout the Philippines and far beyond. Islam first spread to the region..

13 A Visa

Your first year of 13a visa is probationary. You can apply to have your probationary condition removed after you have successfully completed your first year of stay in the Philippines and still together with your spouse. Once the probationary condition has been removed, you become a permanent resident of the Philippines. A divorce or annulment after the probationary condition has been removed does not relieve you of your permanent resident status. If you never applied to have your probationary condition removed and got a divorced, then your 13a visa is invalidated or will naturally expire in one year of obtaining your 13a visa. This is similar to what they have in the U.S.A. when one sponsors his/her spouse, the green card is probationary for 2 years, and the green card holder will have to apply to have the probationary condition removed after two years.

The Malaysian police has sent a special team to identify three militants killed by Philippine Air Force in a raid, Malaysian Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Friday.

Hishammuddin said in a statement that Malaysia would like to confirm if the militants killed on Thursday were Malaysian Zulkifli Abdul Hir, a senior leader of the Abu Sayyaf and the Jemaah Islamiyah, as well as two Sabah Darul Islam members in Malaysia's east peninsula, Bacho and Jeknal Adil, who escaped police arrest during an operation in November last year.

"The Malaysian police is liaising with the Philippine National Police to provide DNA samples of Zulkifli's family for confirmation purposes," Hishammuddin said.
