Hi, how does the healthcare system work in the Philippines ? Is it efficient ? What are the main differences between public and private sectors? Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in the Philippines? Thanks in advance ...

We were very happy with the quality, transparency and cost at St. Lukes Global City - a world class facility - where both of our children were born via c-section. This is a private hospital. I would trust that hospital for all but the most ... Read More

Did you get any answers to your question that you could share? I am not sure what the purpose of this legislation is. I find it bizarre that anyone would keep paper books these days. I would assume anyone doing significant business would just buy ... Read More
