Just returned from our 3 day experience at Silliman Medical and thought I would share my observations with those of you who are interested. Just to add that Jonie underwent a Cesarean birth so this will reflect in the stress, and costs noted here. I would also add that this was the first baby for both of us as I spent my life pursuing other opportunities and having a child simply did not fit in my plans... So we both were novices but had the support of her mother and our Ya Ya who I must add is a godsend... I will list my Pros and Cons as I see them so be advised these are just my observations...
Pros
1. Support staff on the OB second floor to include the Nurses, and duty Physicians were nothing short of excellent. Friendly, supportive at all times which was a blessing as I can be a handful when it comes to supporting those I love.. 5 stars !!
2. Room is large enough for patient and 1 support person to sleep over, and can handle several guests at a time without being crowded. TV is modern and cable is good for those who wish to watch. The CR is large with heated shower. Split Air Con is very good and it is easy to chill the room to anyone's preference.
3. Food is hospital food so enough said, there is a coffee shop on the second floor with good coffee and all day breakfast. I did not go to the cafeteria so cannot comment but there is a 7-11 across the street with most anything you might have forgotten in the rush to the hospital
Cons
1. Bring your own toilet tissue, wipes, soap, pillows, blankets and extra chairs as is only one chair in the room and comfort is not its high point.
2. The building is undergoing renovations so there is some noise during the day and there is only one elevator working when we were there so be prepared for some delay when using.
3. Parking is non existent so arrange to be dropped off but we had our car so I parked a block away and was able to find parking in front after 6 pm... results vary so if you are lucky enough to snag a spot then plan to stay until you check out.
My costs for the 3 day stay which included a private room, operating room, doctors fee, labs and pharmacy totaled 108,270.86. I was fortunate to snag 3 years of Phil Health for 7500 before costs went up and they paid 19000 so total was 89,000 plus.
I consider this worth every peso..

Thank you to all of our customers and friends that have been supporting our efforts.
We just completed the process for our building permit for a restaurant in Valencia. It will be on Legarda right at the corner of West Balugo Road. That is 1.2 km north of the main Valencia Dumaguete highway on Legarda St. If you are on the main highway going toward Dumaguete from the Valencia Market, turn left at the road just past Neva's and go 1.2 km. The road on the left at that point is West Balugo. We will be on the far corner.
It will probably take a couple of months, maybe a little more. It will only be a small place but will give us the space to be able to serve our friends and customers better and serve all our regular foods as hot meals. We have a few more standards of ours to add to the menu also, such as country fried steak, smoked pork shoulder bbq, fried chicken, etc., etc. Nothing fancy, just good quality simple food.
It is called "Joy Bamboo Cafe".
Here is a drawing of what the place will look like. Not exact, just an artists rendering. It's shady there so once we get open we will probably be adding a couple places to sit in the yard too.

After seeing several pups and their parents today I decided against a German Shepard. Several King Shepards in the area and those are just too big (fine for me but got a "wtf!?" when my gf saw the mother and I explained the father was even bigger, I want her to be comfortable with the full grown version and not just the cute puppy size) and shed far too much for keeping in the house, with additional hip/joint issues down the road.
I found some regular German Shepherd pups with a mom that had a very sweet, labrador level, temperament. However, even with the mom being freshly bathed and obviously taken care of the shedding was too much for me.
I decided against the Belgian Malinois since my gf has little experience with aggressive/high maintenance/high energy working dogs. I figured I would go with something a bit more manageable for her and, more importantly, my sanity.
After some research I decided to go with a husky. Shedding still an issue but it seems this breed does so seasonally...or maybe not since the season doesn't really change much here. I guess I'll find out. I was also concerned with the heat here being a bit much for the breed but it appears they adapt to warmer climates and have little issue as long as you take some basic precautions.
It has only been half a day but I'm quite happy with this pup. It has a playful but gentle temperament and when the tv comes on it sits and watched quietly.Attached Files:
