FOR the whole month of May, Muntinlupa is holding 'Chikiting Ligtas (Safe Kids),' a free city-wide immunization campaign against polio for children from 0 to 59 months old, and against measles and rubella for kids ages 9 to 59 months.

'We encourage all parents to have their children immunized against polio, measles and rubella,' Mayor Ruffy Biazon said. 'As parents, we have the obligation to protect our children from these life-threatening illnesses through immunization,' he added.
