@rareking nagpamedical ako sa nationwide nung monday. 4250 ang price nila per person, same lang din sa st. lukes. up to 3pm sila parehas. yung isa 7am ang bukas, yung isa 730am, nakalimutan ko kung sino yung mas maaga. yung nationwide may saturday halfday morning. may nabasa ako somewhere sa forum na mas ok sa st. lukes kasi ineexplain ata results (or baka mali lang pagkaintindi ko), sa nationwide wala talaga ibibigay info sayo, diretso talaga result sa DIAC and di mo malalaman result. mabilis naman yung pamedical namin kasi dumating kami dun e 255pm kami nalang tao dun kaya mga 1 hour lang lahat.
@rukiasan regarding dun sa acknowledgement email, yup nareceive ko din yun pero parang acknowledgement lang naman ng bayad e.

St Lukes Manila: 4,250
Nationwide: 3,600 / 3,800 (now @ 4,250 / Sep 1, 2014)
