Embassy open on Monday May 14?

[John & Rose 7,239]

Just wondering if the Embassy is open on Monday since President Dueterte closed the government for Barangay elections on May 14.

This seems to be the embassy calendar for 2018. I don't see Monday 14 on it. But it seems embassy's medical clinics/centers are gonna be closed that day.

PS: Did you try to call them to see if they have a recorded message about Monday or even tweet them. I found nothing on that day.

Open.   Not an official holiday.  May 28th will be the next holiday for the embassy to be closed.

St. Luke's is a Philippine hospital.  they dance to the beat of a different drum.  (they are open during U.S. holidays)

St. Lukes Medical Extension in Ermita is where you get to pay US prices for Philippines based services

 

I bet you go down the road to another St. Lukes hospital and get the same medical evaluation done you will pay about 15 times cheaper......

Like to know what U.S. hospital does medicals like that for $333  ...   maybe if you add a zero at the end

 

And you would lose your bet... I did a medical at St. Luke's Medical Center on Rizal Dr, including x-rays and blood work-ups, costs blew right by $333.

All those services you had performed should of been included in general check up fees.

 

You got to learn the "Art of the Deal"
