Even with the awareness rate of 73 percent regarding Ebola virus
disease, a Palace official said that there is still a need to increase information
dissemination related to the deadly virus.
"Kahit mataas ang bilang ng nagsabing may kaalaman sila hinggil sa Ebola, ang kanilang kaalaman ay bahagya o hindi kumpleto. Mahalaga ang pagkakaroon ng tama at sapat na impormasyon upang magawa ang nararapat na pag-iingat at upang hindi matakot o mangamba," said Presidential Communication Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr.
