Any recs for a good clinic or hospital near Makati, and do they take international insurance or is it cash upfront? Rough idea on cost would help too.

try asian hospital in alabang if u dont mind the drive south, their derm dept is solid & queues are way shorter than the big makati ones. bring pesos, most places swipe card but cash saves hassle. consult runs around 1500 to 2500

yep cash is king at the smaller clinics, but the big ones like Makati Med have card terminals at the billing desk. just tell them upfront it's self pay so they don't run ur insurance paperwork. keep the official receipt for ur claim back home

St. Luke's in BGC or Makati Med both handle international patients, but most clinics want cash or card upfront and you claim back from insurance later.

luke's bgc has a separate international patients desk on the 2nd floor that gives you a cost estimate before you commit, worth asking for

yeah the sisig is solid but grab the lechon kawali from the next stall over, 150 pesos and worth it over the drinks for sure

Agree on skipping drinks but the turon stall by the back exit is 20 pesos and worth saving room for.

Good call on skipping teh drinks, they're overpriced for what u get. But tbh the sisig portion got smaller when I was there, so maybe grab the lechon kawali too. Budget around 120 to 150 for a full meal.

that sisig stall is def the move, tbh. i'd add the kakanin stand a few stalls down, maja blanca for like 40 pesos. u think prices will stay the same in 2026 or go up?
