Neonatal tetanus is a serious public health concern in developing countries and affects newborns primarily due to unhygienic delivery practices. The other choices, A: Poliomyelitis, B: Measles, and C: Rabies, are also important diseases to address but have not been specifically targeted for eradication through Presidential Proclamation No. 4 in the Philippines. Neonatal tetanus eradication efforts focus on improving maternal and neonatal health, promoting clean delivery practices, and ensuring vaccination coverage to prevent this deadly disease.

Classifying it as a health threat (B) helps to identify and address potential risks to the family's health.
