The Philippines has reported its first case of mpox this year, just after the World Health Organization said it's a global health emergency.
The infected person is a 33-year-old man who didn't travel outside the country, and he got sick with a fever and rash.
Doctors are making sure people can get tested quickly and are trying to calm people down about the situation.
This case is important because there's a new, more dangerous type of mpox that's spreading outside of Africa, and this could mean the disease is becoming more widespread.
