The Department of Foreign Affairs on Sunday said a Filipino in Singapore has tested positive for monkeypox.
“Let us avoid stigmatization and discrimination against them because that is wrong.

Following the detection of the first monkeypox case in the Philippines, Mayor Joy Belmonte said they have been coordinating with the DOH since May when a rise in monkeypox cases was reported in several countries.
