President Rodrigo Duterte wished that monkeypox, a rare infection that can be transmitted to humans in bites from animals, would be less virulent and lethal.

There is currently no reason to be alarmed about the possible spread of monkeypox in the country, according to Dr. Ted Herbosa, an adviser to the National Task Force against Covid-19.
