Authored by Councilor Catalino Alisbo, the resolution said the recent campaign of the CHO and Police Station 1 of the Bacolod City Police Officeagainst mendicants and commercial sex workers in the Bacolod Public Plaza, who are almost positive with sexually transmitted diseases, needs the attention of the CHO.
The increased number of Filipino workers affected with HIV/AIDS in the Philippines had already reached the point where every localgovernment unit must now actively and seriously mobilize their CHO and encourage its community to participate in the control and prevention of HIV/AIDS, it said.

Of this, 875 have progressed into AIDS andthis year’sfigureis 63 percenthigher compared to the 109 cases registered during the same period in 2010, it said.
