ALICIA, Isabela — Authorities have expressed alarm over the possible outbreak of dengue fever here after the mosquito-borne disease killed a Grade 5 pupil and downed 20 others in the past two months.

Alicia Mayor Napoleon Dy said he has alerted the municipal health personnel about the rising cases of dengue. "We will be forced to declare a state of calamity if the situation gets worse," he said.

Being closely monitored are the barangays of Paddad, Calao and San Antonio, where the Grade 5 student lived. — Charlie Lagasca
