Via Philippine Daily Inquirer 01/16/2010 MANILA, Philippines—President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Saturday marveled at the state-of-the-art and “hotel-like” facilities of the spanking new St. Luke's Medical Center Global City at The Fort in Taguig City, calling it a “quantum leap in medical care.”
“It looks like a five-star hotel,” she gushed while walking around the presidential suite that features a special bed, daybed sofa, leather recliner, flat TV, a desktop computer, and a jacuzzi in the patient's room. But more than the amenities, the 250-sq m suite, which has a dining area, kitchen and a guestroom, and costs P50,000 a day, offers a refreshing view of Taguig's skyline. The new facility has a 14-storey, 600-bed nursing tower with a helipad.
