What is the cost of private health insurance in the Philippines?

I’m exploring buying real estate in the Philippines. I grew up in Makati but it seems that it is now a very expensive area. What are some other parts of the Philippines that is relatively cheaper but still offer good amenities and quality lifestyle?

Everywhere is cheaper than Makati, plus nowhere near as busy.
Really depends on you do you like city life, with shopping malls restaurants etc? Or do you like the provincial life, which I really like but I get so bored.
We live just outside Angeles city which has everything. Busy but not too busy, very central and easy to travel from here. We like restaurants, wife likes shopping malls. Cinemas etc. Not just bars and bar girls that's just 2 streets. It suits us.
