Sister in law being held as prisoner in hospital - Is this legal in the Philippines?

I am pretty sure she did not bring that up. She knows all that will accomplish is making them think she has access to money.

it is considered illegal detention, you should sue them. unfortunately the law says it is not legal but still being practiced there

FWIW my asawa's father was involved in an industrial accident several years ago. 2 steel plates smashed together at the shipyard he was welding at. Unfortunately his little finger was between them.

Immediately transported to a hospital. By the time the shipyard had arranged payment for the surgery, 12+ hours, the surgery ultimately degenerated into a lower forearm amputation.

My asawa also said that the pay before service is commonplace regardless of type of hospital.
