Doesn't look good to me - I concur it looks like it was in an accident then patched up. Though I can't imagine the accident causing the hood to raise so uniformly - that might be a bad mix of parts or poor repair job.
Even if the motor is good, P38,000 seems high. If it's not a long trip, I say go take a look with the mindset you're not buying. You never know really until you see and drive it, and if the damage is cosmetic, it may be a great project. I love that year as well.
