Summary
Single-surgeon plastic-surgery practice that holds hospital clinics in the City of Manila, Alabang and Santa Rosa; this record covers the Manila clinic at ManilaMed. The surgeon is named with his board and society titles, and his name is in the PAPRAS Fellows directory. PAPRAS is a professional society, not a state register.
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. The surgeon is in the PAPRAS Fellows directory, card "Dr. Gerald Marion Abesamis — Location: Quezon City". PAPRAS is a professional society, not a state register; the Philippines has no state specialty register, so this axis is capped at 2 in this country. [papras] |
SEC | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The surgeon is named with his role and titles on the home and about pages, and the locations page ties him to the named Manila hospital clinic with its consulting hours. [site] [site-about] [site-locations] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The PRC licence verification service is captcha-gated and answers every scripted query with an error, so no licence check was possible. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-08-30 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The state facility register is unreachable from this environment; the open PhilHealth list covers accredited ambulatory surgical clinics only, which does not cover a hospital consulting room. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-08-30 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Brand only. The site publishes a practice name only, with no operating company or registration number; the SEC company search answers scripted requests with a challenge page, so no register match was possible either. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. Diplomate and fellowship letters are listed with their issuing bodies but without any registration or licence number. [site] [site-about] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty No pattern from the lexicon found. The English pages were scanned for guarantee and ranking wording; the copy describes procedures, training history and clinic hours without an unattributed ranking claim. [site] [site-about] [site-locations] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. The site has a single English front, so there is nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-08-30 |
| M9 | Patient documents None. No informed-consent, risk, aftercare, revision-policy or complaint-route document is published on the public pages. [site] [site-services] |
