johnb Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Recently my wife required the anti rabies vaccination, when she filled out the hospital registration form adding my foreign name, the price jumped from 1,500php per shot too 5,000 php per shot, I didn't go along to the Hospital with my wife for this very reason. but it now seems they need only the sight of our married name to adjust for kano price, we went elsewhere.......

Mr Lee Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Welcome John, yes that is one of the problems we all seem to face from time to time. Hopefully someday the Filipinos who do this will wake up and realize that it is not a good idea for their country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Now, if saving money isn't reason enough to not get married, I can't think of one. :D Seriously, many reputable hospitals, well, the ones I have visited in Cebu anyway, have never done that to me. Of course, I'm a pretty big buy and I speak Cebuano. So, that may help them make the decision to treat me fairly. :DWould you mind sharing what hospital / medical facility did this to you?
