Well for me there are a lot of free healthcare in the Philippines. You just need to know the ins and outs on how to get assistance. Philhealth is not a reliable source of free healthcare. It is not tecnically free since you are still paying a small amount from your salary to the government each month. So it is not really free. If you really want free healthcare assistance you can always go to PCSO. They usually give assistance for healthcare without spending anything, you just need to a lot more time and patience as there is also a lot of people trying to avail this. Being a voter of certain City can also give you free healthcare, a classic example for this is in Makati. Citizens in makati will be given a yellow card if they are a voter within the city of Makati and they are are treated for free in Makati’s very own hospital OSMAK which is short for Ospital ng Makati. In other cities usually offers cash assistance just make sure you are registered voter if not, you can’t avail any benefits from the city.
