Abstract
COVID-19 has turned into a protracted emergency to Philippine urban populations. The pandemic can be an opportunity for the country to strengthen surveillance capacity through wastewater-based epidemiology for COVID-19 and antimicrobial resistance. This capacity can translate to detection and monitoring for other emerging infectious diseases.Keywords
