Hello Spook. It depends on the kind of medical problem one might have. For general ailments, the hospitals and doctors available within Dumaguete do a very good job of looking after their patients. If you find it unsatisfactory, you can always get a second opinion from another doctor. Othewise, they will refer you to specialists.
I don't know much about money but i hear a Chase bank will be opening right in Manila. Otherwise, Chase Customer Service Representatives and Fraud Specialists are pretty much what the Philippines can assist you with. Hehehe.
That's right. Almost all people nowadays drink bottled water. There is rather a peculiar tasting bottled water by the name of "2big". It tastes just like tap water and the first time i got to drinking it, i was off to the restroom for half a day. The most trusted ones would be Nature's Spring, Wilkins, Nestle, to name a few.
So the rest of the questions i cannot relate to because i've never been out of the Philippines since birth. Hehehehe. But, you might need to buy a reliable map of every city you wish to visit so you will not get lost. And, ask around frequently so you can compare one idea after another and make your own decision.
You don't have to worry about the weather here. It is most of the time, sunny and bright. If it's not rainy and gray. Hehehehe. Otherwise, you will love the perfect weather Philippines can always boast about.
Take Care!
