Hello,

I am Prinz Magtulis, a researcher and freelance journalist. 

I am writing to request your good office for monthly or annual data of the number of recorded flu cases in the Philippines from year 2010 to the latest data as of 2023. 

If possible, if we could get both absolute number as well as prevalence rate of the flu, that would be great. 

The data will be used as part of my research as well as report on the rising number of flu cases in the country. 

Thank you so much.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. But I checked the data you provided, and it's only for Region 2 (Cagayan). I asked for data for the entire Philippines. Is it possible to send in that? Thank you.
