Dengue is not the only risk that many parents, guardians and school officials are facing nowadays. Looming threat to our children is the Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) that recently kills 55 children (mostly were younger than 3 years old) in Cambodia since April 2012.

What is HFMD?
HFMD is a contagious viral disease caused by two enteroviruses called Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) and Enteroviruses 71 (EV71). Adults, babies and children can be afflicted with the disease.
People especially babies and children with HFMD caused by Coxsackievirus A16 recover fully after the illness. Dehydration is the most common complication. It takes 7 to 10 days to recover. It is an illness that is mild and over within a week. Treatment is directly toward relief of symptoms such as fever and sores. School kids can go back to school days after provided that they should be given clearance from the doctor.

The Philippine National Police warned all homeowners/residents of  fake power firm/ utility personnel, messengers from courier companies and delivery service personnel targeting households for robbery and rape of female family members in Metro Manila.

Modus Operandi: a tipster, he/she may be a neighbor, somebody’s new domestic staff or a vendor, will case the whole neighborhood. It will be followed by surveillance for a few days to monitor the movements of targeted homeowner and all the household members’ routine and activities. Once routine and activity have been established, two rob gang members, posed as uniformed Meralco utility personnel/messengers from courier companies on a motorcycle, will knock on the homeowner’s gate. Once the unsuspecting domestic staff/family member opens the gate, they will force their way in and ransack the house.

 Summer is here in the Philippines. Schools are closed. Our children are having the best playtime while some do extracurricular activities. While they are at it, we, parents, should take time to discuss earthquake and fire drills. Drills are safety activities that keep kids prepared for earthquake, flood or fire hazards. These activities show kids how to behave in an emergency situation and help increase children's safety awareness. Build a disaster kit with your kids so they will be aware of its use and the importance of having one inside our homes. Please go to http://kurukuronimye.com/2012/03/when-disaster-strikes/

Bluffing in MRT

On January 2012, two MRT passengers reported that they fell prey to a group of pickpocketing syndicates while inside the train. One victim caught the suspect but was quickly deceived by the suspects’ accomplices that he jumped out of the train.

 Modus
Several members of a pickpocket syndicate will mingle inside a crowded MRT train. Once spotted a potential victim, one member of the robbery group will do the deed – steal the bag, wallet, mobile phone or laptop in a crowded train. If the victim will not notice the act of stealing, the robbery group successfully brings home the victim’s valuables for reselling.

Is there a new crime wave going on? Residents have been gassed and burgled by robbery syndicates. Home burglars used a potentially lethal sleeping gas to incapacitate all occupants of the house before breaking in to rob all cash and valuables. After waiting outside the house for the gas to take into effect, they crawl back in and they take their time in looting every room for cash, jewelries and all personal valuables of the occupants.
