Philippines village offers cash rewards to fight dengue
Filipinos in Manila's Addition Hills village exchange containers of mosquitoes for cash, as the government attempts to address rising dengue cases in the country. The "Peso for a Mosquito" project gives residents an incentive of one peso (US$0.017) for every five mosquitoes — dead or alive — turned over to the village hall.
