In just four days starting Monday, East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City recorded 185 dengue cases, said Dr. Ma. Victoria Abesamis, the chief of clinics.

Up to three children share a bed in the hospital. Some even have to stay in monobloc chairs instead of resting in beds in crowded wards, according to Abesamis. JC Bolo said he didn’t know how his 6-month-old baby got dengue. He said it pained him to see that baby Gabriel had to suffer while being given intravenous fluid therapy.
