Summary

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. Three named surgeons appear in the PAPRAS Fellows directory with the location City of Davao, Davao del Sur. The Philippines has no state specialty register, so an association roster is the highest provenance available for this axis. [papras] |
SEC | 26 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Surgeons named with role and tied to the Davao City address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. |
? | ? | 8 | 2026-08-30 |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. PhilHealth list of accredited Ambulatory Surgical Clinics for CY 2026 queried; the Davao City block holds no row for this facility. That accreditation is voluntary, so the sweep leaves the axis unverified. [philhealth] |

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Brand only. Only the clinic brand is published; no operating company or corporation is named anywhere on the site, and the company register is not scriptable. [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. College and society fellowship titles listed per physician without registration numbers or issuers. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives. Two soft superlatives on the About page; no wording from the guarantee lexicon found. [site] Together, these dedicated physicians were trained in the most prestigious universities and institutions here in the Philippines and abroad. |
