A few years ago an acquaintance of an acquaintance was hospitalized in Makati General. I was asked to visit the person. The person received first world hospital treatment. Hospital room was a suite with an extra bed for family to stay over night. It was a long stay and the bill was close to $50,000. I know the person didn't have the money to pay it but had travel medical insurance to cover it. Not sure if the person was released prior to ins payment or not.
Again this was a first world hospital that probably had a medical insurance billing dept.
Problem will be in a third world hospital that has no medical ins billing department demanding cash for release.

Was it easy to get a taxi from NAIA to Penn?
No limit of visitors before 10 pm on a daily basis?
If they have an in-house in room massage service, do they allow masseuse to your room after 10 pm?
Have a great time!

Posts: 451I would be curious to hear from people who got sick and had to claim. A lot of insurance requires payment to hospital and insurance company reimbursement at a later date.

OK. To all you storm troopers itching to storm my little sand box as if it was the Normandy Beach, please, do not bring germs.
Remember, cleanliness is next to godliness.

Posts: 451LOL! Not of fan of the wet spot. In my teenage years, girls would get so embarrassed they would hide the spot by sleeping on it. A great idea and practice I continue today! Hah hah hah.

Posts: 360Entry to Naia. 2/16/22
Its 8 pm Wednesday local time here in Manila. We landed about 1 pm today. Here's what it was like for the foreign visitor.
Upon debarkation we walked into the terminal but instead of going to immigration, we were asked to be seated and get out our vaxx card; One pass; proof of insurance; and boarding pass. There was about a 15 minute wait to get to a booth and present these to an officer. He entered the data in his cell phone. Painless.
Then to immigration. Short line. Having already presented most of the stuff, I was surprised when the immigration officer asked for all the paperwork again, plus proof of a negative test. A minute later I was through.
After picking up my suitcase there was another desk to go to where they wanted the One pass again. Less than a minute to clear that.
So the upshot is to keep all your paperwork in hand because you can be asked for any and all of it at any time.
I checked in to the Penn and was told that no visitors are allowed after 10 pm. Prior to that, its ok to bring any visitor as long as they have the vaxx card and ID.
That's all for now. I have several new friends coming tomorrow (Thursday) but I don't anticipate a problem.

Posts: 405About the Traze app, I called the DOTr Public assistance line they have no idea if this is required. They gave me the number to the NAIA airport policy department and I spoke to a guy that says that its not totally required because some people can't install this app due to them not having a smart phone they would have to have someone assist them in this process however it doesn't have anything to do with the entry to the Philippines. The guy I spoke to said that they recently stopped asking for the traze app as he has been in an out daily with no request / mention of the app. They may require this at higher alert levels or have moved away from this hopefully. He also did say to install it "just in case".

EDIT: this looks like an airport requirement and not an entry requirement but I guess they could be construed as the same thing. With any luck they will get rid of this experiment by the time I arrive.

Back on December I wasn't asked for the Traze app either (I had it on my phone just in case), BUT now you need to have it and show it in a Philippines airport, specially if you are planning to travel to another province they will ask you to show it before they let you in to the airport, I was asked in Manila airport.
