I see that there are a lof of holidays in the Philippines for the month of August..

August 20,21 and Aug 27.

I called St. Lukes today if they are open on Aug 27. which i already booked a flight on that day so that I can have my medical.. But unfortunately... they will be close on that day because its holiday..

So i spend another money to extend my stay in manila and rebook my flight from manila back to cebu.. which is not good.. :-(

I just want to share this to everyone so you will not have the same problem like mine.. hehehe.

Good Luck!!

And i will not be allowed to have the medical.. You will be ask to come back 5 days after the last day of your mense.. So better do it earlier this august.. so i will just come back again on the interview.

yeps True.. especially if you got a regular monthly period. But, In my case I went to my OB and she said to visit her a week

before I fly to manila so she can give me medicine to stop my period temporarily until I'm done with medical.
