## TL;DR

This paper reports two complete genomes of a pig virus from the Philippines, providing insights into its genetic diversity.

## Contribution

The study provides two new complete coding genomes of PRRSV-2 from clinical samples in the Philippines.

## Key findings

- BA2021012A is a lineage L8C strain with a genome length of 15,388 bp.
- ME20230008B-2 is a vaccine-like strain in lineage L7 with a genome length of 15,513 bp.

## Abstract

We report two coding-complete genome sequences of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 from field clinical samples obtained in 2021 (BA2021012A) and 2023 (ME20230008B-2) from the Philippines. BA2021012A (15,388 bp) is classified as a lineage L8C strain while ME20230008B-2 (15,513 bp) is a vaccine-like strain in lineage L7.
