Several more provinces are close to becoming malaria free like Cam Sur and Cam Norte which will mean the whole of Bicol will be (Albay, Masbate, Sorsogon & Catanduanes already are).

Antique province is at the same stage and when that gets elimination status, the whole of Panay will be free as will the vast majority of The Visayas. The exception being Negros Island.

Dinagat Islands no longer has malaria neither does Misamis Occidental in Mindanao.

Others close to eradication are Pangasinan, Lanao del Norte, La Union and Laguna.

The highest amount of malaria cases occur in the three largest provinces Isabela & Cagayan in North-East Luzon and Palawan, and also Tawi-Tawi and Sulu.
