In the most recent four morbidity weeks, Central Luzon, Western and Eastern Visayas have all crossed the alert or epidemic level.

In the previous three to four weeks, the number of cholera cases increased positively in the provinces of Antique, Bataan, Negros Occidental, Northern Samar, and the cities of Bacolod, Baguio, Zamboanga, and Manila.
