Carlito Cernal
Carlito Cernal is the village chief of Barangay Addition Hills in the Philippines, who recently made headlines by implementing a cash reward system for catching mosquitoes in an effort to combat the rising cases of dengue fever in his densely populated community. His initiative, which offers a reward of one peso for every five mosquitoes, was introduced following the tragic deaths of two students from the disease and aims to complement existing sanitary measures aimed at reducing mosquito breeding sites. Despite facing ridicule on social media, Cernal remains committed to improving the health and safety of his community amidst a significant surge in dengue cases.
