Vice President Sara Duterte urges Filipinos to work hand in hand to make the Philippines safe and rabies-free.
Vice President Sara Z. Duterte joined the nation in observing National Rabies Awareness Month this March, calling on Filipinos to take concrete steps to protect their families and communities from rabies.
In her video message, Duterte emphasized that rabies remains a serious health threat, but is both preventable and controllable through vigilance and responsible action.
“Ang kaligtasan ng ating pamilya ay nagsisimula sa ating mga sariling bakuran” (The safety of our families begins in our own backyards), the Vice President said.
Duterte encouraged the public to follow three key measures to help prevent the spread of rabies.
First, by ensuring that pets are vaccinated, as it remains the most effective protection against the deadly virus. She also encouraged residents to take advantage of free vaccination drives in their barangays and local veterinary offices.
Second, by being responsible pet owners through ensuring that family pets do not roam freely outside their homes or along the streets, reducing the risk of bites and other accidents.
Third, she advised individuals who are bitten by animals to seek immediate medical attention and proceed to the nearest Animal Bite Treatment Center for proper treatment.
The Vice President emphasized that being alert and responsible helps protect not only individual families but also the wider community. She then called for unity and cooperation in building a safer and rabies-free Philippines.

Nakiisa si Vice President Inday Sara Duterte sa paggunita ng National Rabies Awareness Month ngayong buwan ng Marso, kung saan hinimok niya ang mga Pilipino na kumilos at protektahan ang kanilang pamilya at ang buong komunidad laban sa rabies.
Sa kanyang mensahe, binigyang-diin ng Pangalawang Pangulo na nananatiling seryosong banta sa kalusugan ang rabies, ngunit maaaring maiwasan sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mapagmatyag at responsable.
Ayon kay Duterte, nagsisimula sa sariling tahanan at bakuran ang kaligtasan ng bawat pamilya.
Hinimok niya ang publiko na isagawa ang tatlong konkretong hakbang upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng rabies:
Una, siguraduhin na nabakunahan ang mga alagang hayop, na pinakamabisang paraan upang maprotektahan ang pamilya laban sa nakamamatay na virus, at samantalahin ang mga libreng vaccination drive sa mga barangay.
Ikalawa, maging responsableng pet owner sa pamamagitan ng hindi pagpapabaya na gumala ang mga alaga sa labas ng bahay o sa kalsada upang maiwasan na sila’y makakagat.
Pangatlo, hinimok niya ang mga indibidwal na magtungo sa pinakamalapit na Animal Bite Treatment Center upang mabigyan ng tamang lunas kung sakaling makagat ng hayop.
Ayon pa sa Bise Presidente, sa pagiging responsable at mapagmatyag, mapoprotektahan hindi lamang ang sariling pamilya kundi maging ang buong komunidad. Tinapos ni Duterte ang kanyang mensahe sa panawagang magkaisa at magtulungan ang lahat para sa isang ligtas at rabies-free na Pilipinas.
