Okay.... rough estimate.

Medical fees: P10,000 - 11,000 (since PhP value is plunging)

Visa Fee: P7,000 - 8,000

Plane ticket (Dvo to MNL): P8,000 - 9,500 (roundtrip, outright), PhP 6,000 - 7,000 (roundtrip, if booked early)

If you have family or friends in manila, i suggest stay there... hotels are expensive (PhP800 - 2,000/day).

Food would prolly be 200/meal.

Going to St. Lukes, I suggest take LRT instead of taking cabbies. No traffic, and its just PhP 15.00. You just get off United Nations station and walk 3 blocks (hindi mainit kasi theres a line of trees on the way there). Its air conditioned too.
