With a little more research you may be able to find a decent healthcare plan from one of these:-

Philhealth Insurance from Philippine Goverment - PhilHealth

Blue Cross Philippines

Fortune Care

Globe Insure

Insular Life Health Care

Bupa International

Health Care International

If during the course of your research you come across something interesting maybe you could post it here

I'm one of those folks who would say that when reaching a certain age you might be inclined to base your searches of where to live in the Philippines on the location of great hospitals and easy access to them.
You may well be lucky enough to be able to afford the best healthcare plan on the planet, but if you can't easily get to a hospital that can provide that level of healthcare then it's next to worthless. Just my 2 centavos, but based on personal experience.

Please check out our forum Health section. Especially the 'stickies'
some very useful information Peter.

My advice would be DO NOT rely on Philhealth for your medical needs. Yes it is very cheap monthly and worth having but it will only cover a small percentage of the actual bill.

Always have some spare cash in the bank as you never know what any insurance company will actually pay.
