An 85% increase in cases from the same period last year, with more than 450 deaths reported. The provinces of the Western Visayas region declared an outbreak, with many municipalities seeking a calamity state to access emergency funding to mobilize additional resources. Iloilo, a province of Santa Barbara has 758 positive cases of dengue. This includes three deaths. The three reported deaths came from Brgy. Inangayan, Brgy. Balabag and Brgy. Bolong Oste. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop mosquito repellents to combat the increasing number of dengue cases among the Barangay. And one of the mosquito repellents is Pomelo peel extract (Citrus grandi).

Specifically, it aims to determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age groups, educational attainment, monthly income, and family history of dengue fever.
