The care of the elderly in the Philippines and Indonesia still requires serious attention, which must be prepared early in the nursing education period. This study aims to describe and compare attitudes to support elderly care among nursing students from the Philippines and Indonesia. The subjects of this cross-sectional study were 460 undergraduate students selected by purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through filling out questionnaires distributed through Google Form, then analyzed descriptively in the form of proportions. Meanwhile, differences in attitudes between nursing students from the Philippines and Indonesia were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. In general, the majority of nursing students from both countries had a supportive attitude towards elderly care. However, the proportion of supportive attitudes was greater among nursing students from the Philippines (86.63%) than Indonesia (84.77%). The p value of the Mann-Whitney U test = 0.026, so it can be concluded that significantly, nursing students from the Philippines have a higher attitude of supporting elderly care. Thus, cooperation is needed on the elderly care system between the Philippines and Indonesia, such as benchmarking Indonesian nurses on the elderly nursing service system in the Philippines.
