Aha?!

Dear GMA News,

I really appreciate your Infographic. Nevertheless, there are just things I would like you to improve in your succeeding release. I am sorry, but I cannot help to surmise that makers and designers of your Infographic need to undergo review of basic science concepts. This is the second time I am calling your attention. In your Infographic published at
here, I would like to ask and bring to your attention the following,

1. Why is your mosquito although just a symbol having only 2 pairs of legs? It is an insect therefore it should have 3 pairs. If you justify that the pair at the rear is a leg then that makes our mosquito wingless and that makes your mosquito's legs swollen.
 
2. Instead of sun to represent hotness, why don't you use thermometer instead? It gives an impression that those who are exposed to sun or 'naarawan' is susceptible to mosquitoes.
 
3. I don't know if using several colors entails additional expense in publishing the work because if it does not, applying red color to the bulb of thermometer would have made the illustration better.
4. In 'nakasuot ka ng itim' illustration, this makes me wonder if designer fails to consider person as common denominator. This one is different from the rest. This simply shows that a working concept was not done.

5. The two "
pawis" illustrations can be made into one idea.

6. Should it be better if we use 'sa
loob' rather than 'sa ilalim'? The former is inside while the latter is under. It seems to me that the person is 'nakadapa' and not 'nakahiga'.

 
7. Lotion and patch are not represented, only spray.

8. In 'mga sangkap', it is important to provide how much asukal and yeast to be mixed with other ingredients. This is to ensure that it will really last for 2 weeks.

 
9. You convince readers better if you use actual picture rather than drawing of what you have prepared yourself.

10 Do red lines represent the flow of carbon dioxide? Well carbon dioxide is colorless as far as I know but if the purpose is to illustrate the production of gas, why then use red which is associated with something dangerous. Please hire a science communicator to do or review the Infographics before publication.

Ang
napa AHA,

Aris
