A mixed-use development in Mandaluyong City assured the public that it continues to maintain cleaning and sanitation measures following the confirmation of an mpox case near the area.
Greenfield District said on Tuesday, June 30, that it had been “made aware” of a confirmed mpox case in a condominium near the area, adding that it is in “close coordination with the property’s management.”
It also said that the condominium’s management had assured them that “appropriate health and sanitation protocols are being implemented in accordance and with the guidance of Local Health Authorities.”
“As a precaution, Greenfield District continues to maintain enhanced cleaning and sanitation measures across our common areas,” Greenfield District said in a statement.
“We encourage everyone to practice good hygiene, wash hands regularly, avoid close contact with individuals who are unwell, and seek medical advice if symptoms develop,” it added.
“We remain committed to the safety and well-being of our community and will continue to monitor the situation closely,” Greenfield District said.
It also included preventive measures against mpox, including frequent handwashing and avoiding contact with individuals showing symptoms.
Earlier this week, some Filipinos shared that they had received a memo from Avida Towers Centera notifying residents of a confirmed mpox case in Tower 4.
An X (formerly Twitter) user posted a copy of the memo dated June 25, which stated that the property had been notified by the Mandaluyong City health department of a “confirmed case of Mpox.”
“A condominium in Greenfield District just issued a circular confirming a verified case of [Monkeypox]. Ingat! Remember,m it’s not airborne. Good luck sa mga spa at gyms,” the X user wrote, attaching a copy of the memo in another post.
The Mandaluyong City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit later confirmed the case and said it had taken appropriate measures, including contact tracing and monitoring of close contacts.

There have been no previous reports of mpox cases in the country this year. The last time it had made headlines was in June 2025.
Mpox is a viral infection that can spread from person to person, primarily through close contact, and in some cases, from contaminated objects and surfaces that have been touched by an infected individual.
Common symptoms include a rash that may last for two to four weeks. The rash may appear before or after the onset of fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy and swollen glands (lymph nodes).
Mpox can be prevented by washing hands frequently, using alcohol-based sanitizers, minimizing skin-to-skin contact with others and avoiding contact with the rash or scabs of an infected individual.
