May 11 is Philippine Spring Cleaning Day

Help the country save lives, time, and money through the first-ever Philippine Spring Cleaning Day (PSCD). Representatives from the Department of Health (DoH), UP-National Institutes of Health (UP-NIH), Pediatric Infectious Disease Society of the Philippines (PIDSP), Reckitt Benckiser, Lysol, and several local government units aim to promote cleaning and better sanitation as the means to eradicate diseases.

On 11 May 2011, simultaneous cleanup activities will be done in the cities of Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Pasay, and Pasig. You too can take part in this drive by devoting the day to cleaning up your own household. In fact, organizers of the Philippine Spring Cleaning Day believe that cleanliness should start in one's own household. We may not admit it but even the home can be unsafe and a favorite breeding ground of viruses and bacteria especially if it is not well-kept. Cleaning and disinfecting can prevent diseases which in turn can help us avoid hospitalization costs and make us more productive citizens.

Join the DoH, Lysol and partner organizations in celebrationg Philippine Spring Cleaning Day on May 11. For more details, log on to www.philippinespringcleaningday.com or like the Philippine Spring Cleaning Day Facebook page.
