Based on the findings, the following conclusions were formulated: 1) Most respondents are females, Senior High School Graduates, unemployed, with family’s monthly average income of less than P10,957, and PhilHealth contributors; 2) The respondents exhibit “positive” attitudes by disagreeing with the stigmatizing statements towards social stigma on COVID-19; 3) There are no significant differences in the attitude of young individuals towards the social stigma on COVID-19 when grouped according to educational attainment, employment status, and access to health insurance.
