Countries in the South-East Asia Region reported 172 053 cases with 871 deaths [case-fatality rate (CFR) 0.5%]. Although all countries showed a marginal decline, Thailand and Indonesia showed a substantial decline. India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand reported more than 25 000 cases each with a CFR of 0.87%, 0.63% and 0.09% respectively. The WHO Western Pacific Region reported a total of 230 408 cases with 811 deaths, with a CFR of 0.35%. Dengue activity in the Region was variable. While Cambodia reported more cases than in 2010, Lao PDR, Malaysia, the Philippines, Viet Nam and Australia showed a declining trend. Singapore remained static. A mapping of the prevalence of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in the WHO South-East Asia Region was undertaken during 2011. The maximum burden of VBDs in the Region is borne by India, followed by Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The lowest prevalence is in Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Malaria and dengue are prevalent in all Member States, with the exception of malaria in Maldives and dengue in Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Lymphatic filariasis is prevalent in nine of the 11 Member countries. Bhutan joined the list of endemic countries reporting visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) in 2006. The WHO Western Pacific Region has initiated a number of activities on the clinical management of DF/DHF conforming to the WHO revised guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of DF/DHF. These included holding of an Expert Consultation on Regional Clinical Management, drawing on the expertise of the University of Malaya and using material from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Singapore.

    The Cebuano Bugalbugal Jocelyn C. Pinzon Abstract Bugalbugal, defined in this paper as a verbal event that makes use of playfully derisive language, is ex- amined, interpreted, defined, and given discursive order based on data from dictionaries and fieldwork. Using the Communication Theory on Language by Roman Jakobson to structure the analysis of data gathered from interviewees, this research offers preliminary knowledge on bugalbugal, putting for- ward its five core elements: it is a social transaction and a cultural practice; it has cultural and historical specificity; it has norms on power and behavior as well as on language; it has laughter and ridicule; and, it has ritualistic qualities.
