Dont know where you are staying but i have had a lot of experiances with Hospitals in the P.I. The doctors in general are pretty good as in Angeles city the doctor who sent us to hospital also came in and looked after us, but the nurses were woeful. Watch them when they dispense your medicines as they dont always get the dosage right.
The most professional hospital we went to was Makati General in Manilla.
It wasnt myself or my wife that needed the treatment but always our boys when they were young, that just added to the worry.
Moral of the story, try to make it to Manilla.

My daughter was born in Angeles University hospital, by caeserian section. They told us she was weak and kept vomiting, so needed to stay in the intensive care ward for a week. A couple of days later I was watching her being fed (through the single 'inspection' window they allow parents to see their offspring through) when I noticed the whole row of babies, including mine, were being prop fed (bottle jammed in their mouth and rested on a pillow, no nurses in sight) I promptly went and beat on the access door to ask what the hell was going on, and why an infant in intensive care for vomiting and weakness was left with bottle stuck in its mouth and no way to clear it if it threw up.
Well, the $hit hit the fan and I demanded my daughter be taken up to my wifes private room, where we would look after her properly, seeing as the hospital staff were too busy chatting in their tea room to do the job.
I also demanded to be allowed to make an official complaint about it, as even the hospital rules state that infants are not left unattended whilst feeding.
The bill for a weeks private room, the C section, a couple of days in intensive care for little 'un and a list of drugs as long as my arm came to around 60,000 pesos.
There were no surprises, just the usual 'Bahala Na' attitude you expect on every front in the Philippines. They can try as hard as they like, but they can never do anything 100% right.
