In her Facebook post, Mayor Susan Yap emphasized the importance of proactive health management: “Paalala natin sa lahat: alagaan ang ating kalusugan, panatilihin ang isang healthy lifestyle, mag-ingat, at magpatingin agad kapag kinakailangan. Mas mainam ang pag-iwas kaysa paggagamot”, and reaffirmed the city’s dedication to fostering a healthier and more resilient community.
