MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE) Three residents and three students of Mapua Institute of Technology campus in Makati City are now confirmed cases of the Influenza A(H1N1 ) virus, the city government announced on Monday. Makati public information office chief Joey Salgado said two Filipino residents of San Miguel Village and a child from Barangay Cembo have been hit by the contagious flu virus, based on their communications with the Department of Health.
Meanwhile the three students from the Mapua annex on Gil Puyat, though not Makati residents, reportedly acquired the disease from mingling with affected De La Salle University students.

Looks like the dreaded influenza's spreading like wildfire. And I noticed that it's always in schools that a lot of the cases are found. Are college students more prone to the disease than most people?
