Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
Feeling over whelmed from medical expenses and planning to
visit the Philippines because your Medicare doesn’t cover some general check up
from your new employer.
No matter what the reason there are a lot of people having
their general check up from different hospital and it is great when you have
family or relatives who have connections inside and they know which doctor they
can recommend to treat you in what you need to be check up on.
I live with people who are doctors of some sort and I also
have relatives who are also having access because they work in different
hospitals. We need something and we feel there is something wrong with us they can
refer us to someone to see in what type of illness we have.
Everyone goes to the basic with the general check up and
having their labortory work done to see what kind of health they are in.
Some people just want to make sure before they travel away
from home that their illness is alright because to prevent something happen to
at a foreigner country they might not be able speak the same language and not
sure if we are qualified to have a check up in another country.
Here in the Philippines if you are a senior citizen they
provide a discount and this is why I had explained if you travel to the
Philippines so often it is best to have a relatives apply a Senior Card for
you. It is best to apply for a Phil Health if you plan to live in the Philippines.
This way you would be covered with the expenses in the medical bills.
I also suggest for students to apply for Phil Health never know
when you will need it in the future.
You can check in my blog with the requirements to apply for
Phil Health for your reference.
In case you are health conscious we normally get our regular
laboortory work done every three to six months if someone has complications on their
medical.
It is advice to visit your general doctor to get a
prescription under your name before you undergo laboratory. It is required to
have a prescription under your name to undergo laboratory examination. Or no
one will be able to help you and you will be wasting your time.
This happened to me one time when I wanted to have an x-ray
when I fell off a chair and landed on the floor on my butt. I had walked in the
hospital requesting to be able to get my x-ray done.
During my time there was a doctor available and I would
need to be on the waiting list and when you are undergoing pain and have a hard
time seating down. It was useless I ended up going home.
I ended up putting an ice pack during my time lying on my
side of my bed.
Mine was minor pain, but imagine if someone we’re more in
pain than me.
My sister in-law came by over the house and she told me to observe
it for a few days and if the pain didn’t go away to see a doctor. She had given
me a prescription under my name in case I would need it.
