Now the number 1 cause of death in Philippines is the same as UK - cardiovascular disease, mainly heart attacks. Number 2 in both countries is cancer. Until 30 years ago infections were more common in the Philippines.
It has something to do with our genetics filipino belong to Haplogroup O3,UK belongs to Haplogroup U (mtDNA)...economy,and lifestyle.

we filipinos are more content than any other cultures in the world,we live each day as it comes ..we have stress,problems like any other culture but we are still HAPPY and with a bit of nice weather beside us ,how can we not stay healthy.
