We are the ones who are giving a chance for the mosquitoes to exist. For example, in barangays where the inhabitants do not have regular supply of water, they store water in metal drums and plastic containers without any cover. They do not know the principle that, if the mosquitoes could not find water, they are not able to lay eggs, which means no mosquitoes, no dengue illness and no death will occur.
