+1 for amenity=clinic +1 for clinic=public what about the local "hilot" or manghihilot - the local/rural version chiropractors? (concentrated on sprains and twisted muscles, even spine alignments, who can locate aching body parts by holding the wrist or the ankle); 'pinupulsuhan' in tagalog (actually measuring the flow of energy); and i've seen korean alternative-medicine doctors on tv doing exactly the same (practicing mix eastern-western medicine + tuina therapy). what i'm trying to point out is that this is not a just local thing, koreans and chinese have there own versions, and they are not quack doctors, yet they bring relief to the community for free or sometimes charge a fee less than cost of mcdo value meal.
although the term 'hilot' also refers to unlicensed midwives (and nope i don't want to promote them on the map) they belong to the alternative medicines/treatments, but also under "health" (but no doctors, not govt regulated) but can bring relief to special cases. amenity=clinic alternative medicine??? what about those chinese herbal stores in binondo and in the malls?
