Cut for a Purpose (Zubiri Plastic Surgery)
Verification pending: less of the axis weight is sourced than the threshold requires, so no score is published yet.
Status: verification pending · last checked 30 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Plastic-surgery practice in Cebu City run by two named surgeons, father and son. Both are listed in the PAPRAS Fellows directory with a Cebu City location. The site publishes a procedure menu with per-procedure risk and recovery notes and no registration numbers.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Only a secondary source (association, aggregator) supports the certification. Both named surgeons appear in the PAPRAS Fellows directory with the location City of Cebu.
