"Local data in 2004 shows that seven out of 10 Filipino children ages one to six years are positive for these parasites. In 2006, a study by Dr. Vicente Belizario, Jr. found that in children between six to 12 years old, more than half or 54 percent have these parasites"
"As of 2009, some 40 percent, or about 8.8 million, of Filipino school children has helminthiasis (parasite), the University of the Philippines- National Institutes of Health (UP-NIH) said."
" Last year, it was at the top – not of the list of schools acing the National Achievement Test, but the list of schools with kids suffering from intestinal worms.
A study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the University of the Philippines Manila revealed that there was a prevalence of intestinal worms among 98.7 percent of Agustin Abadilla's students.
The figure was the highest in the entire Luzon. It meant that nine out of ten students were suffering from helminthiasis, or the infestation of one or more intestinal parasitic worms.
“It’s alarming. We’re all worried because worms in the stomach can affect the kids’ performance in school,” said teacher Irene Jaso.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the most common intestinal parasitic worms are roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura), and hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale). All these are soil-transmitted helminths. "
