The avian flue has spread to several countries around the world at various points in time (including the US and Canada), but it remains primarily a disease of birds, particularly devastating to poultry. The incidence of bird flu in humans is very low, representing isolated cases of mutated strains. It will not become a significant human health issue until it becomes transmissible from human to human, something that hasn't happened yet. But that doesn't mean it isn't possible.
That's what you need to be worrying about, the first report of human to human transmission of avian flu, regardless of where it occurs.

Don't think so. Filipinos have a very tough immune system as with people in third world countries.
