There is a rabies vaccine - see "Rabies" in "Travel, Tips & Advice section of the forum

. It's not recommended routinely to visitors to the Philippines, unless there's limited access to prompt medical care, especially if staying in such areas for over a month, or if exposed to unusual risk. For such "pre-exposure prophylaxis" the vaccine is given on days 0, 7 and 28 (again at 2-3 years if still at risk).
Avoid animal contact unless it's a vaccinated pet! If bitten, scatched, or licked ( cuts, mouth, eyes), wash with soapy water for 20 minutes and seek help. The biting animal may not die of rabies before the human does (for us incubation is 9-90 days). If previously immunised, 2 doses of vaccine ( days 0 and 3) are sufficient.
If not immunised, give vaccine on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30, with rabies immunoglobulin on day 0. It's still worthwhile starting the course even several weeks after exposure. It may cost at least P 24,000, but can always be discontinued if it's proved the individual was not at risk.
Rabies is virtually always fatal once symptoms start. These include headache,odd behaviour, agitation, fever, itch around the bite, then hydrophobia ( water-provoked muscle spasms) or paralysis of a bitten limb. If you only ever read one of my threads, please make it "Rabies" - it could save someone's life
