Massage License Philippines
In the Philippines, massage therapy is regulated by the Department of Health (DOH) and the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). To practice massage therapy in the Philippines, you must be a licensed massage therapist.
Here are the steps to obtain a massage therapy license in the Philippines:
Education and training: You must complete a massage therapy course or program from a DOH-recognized training center or school. The program should consist of at least 500 hours of theory and practical training.
Certification: After completing the massage therapy course, you must obtain a Certificate of Completion from the training center or school. This certificate should indicate that you have completed the required hours of training and passed the relevant examinations.
Application: Once you have obtained your Certificate of Completion, you can apply for a massage therapy license from the PRC. You will need to submit the following documents:
- Certificate of Completion
- Transcript of Records
- Birth Certificate
- NBI Clearance
- Two (2) passport-sized photos
Examination: After submitting your application, you will be required to take a written examination administered by the PRC. The exam covers topics such as anatomy, physiology, massage techniques, and professional ethics.
License issuance: If you pass the examination, you will be issued a massage therapy license by the PRC. Your license must be renewed every three years.
It's important to note that practicing massage therapy without a license in the Philippines is illegal and can result in penalties or imprisonment.
Running a spa business in the Philippines requires proper planning, management, and execution. Here are some key steps to consider when managing a spa business in the Philippines:
Business Registration: Register your spa business with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This will give you a legal and official business identity and allow you to operate your spa business legally.
Location and Design: Choose a location that is easily accessible and convenient for your customers. The spa should have a relaxing and comfortable ambiance, with appropriate lighting, music, and decor.
Services Offered: Offer a wide range of spa services that cater to the needs of your customers, such as massage therapy, facial treatments, body scrubs, and manicure/pedicure services. Make sure your services are priced competitively and offer good value for money.
Staffing: Hire qualified and experienced staff who are trained in providing spa services. You may also need to hire support staff, such as receptionists and cleaners, to manage the day-to-day operations of your spa business.
Marketing: Develop an effective marketing strategy to promote your spa business to potential customers. This may include advertising in local publications, creating a website, and utilizing social media platforms.
Inventory Management: Keep track of your inventory of spa products, such as oils, creams, and scrubs. Ensure that you have adequate supplies of these products and that they are of high quality.
Financial Management: Manage your finances effectively, including budgeting, bookkeeping, and tax compliance. Hire a qualified accountant or bookkeeper to help you manage your financial affairs.
By following these key steps, you can effectively manage your spa business in the Philippines and provide a high-quality service to your customers.

While in the facebook page of Marian Rivera, she posted about her deepest sympathy to the late actor Eddie Garcia.
Marian works with Manoy Eddie in GMA tele serye, and she also considers Mr. Garcia as her second father, yeah she has many second father, why not? but many times she is joking to Eddie and treat her Lolo Granpa. Philippine Cinema will never be the same without Eddie Garcia.
On his recent cause of death in a teleserye shooting in Manila, it has been a talk of town that his life can be revived if only there was a proper first aid in the incident.
Opinions and claims the day Eddie Garcia had an accident
1. He was on a shooting for a GMA television drama and he was given a hard scene
2. He was carrying a heavy gun and the production let him run, he should be given a double
3. A line cable was scattered around the set and that made him fell down
4. There was no first aid, nurse, no stretcher, no expert rescuer
5. Production crew carries him wrong way and that caused his condition into worse
6. Many filipinos love Eddie Garcia, he is the king of Cinema
7. He is already old and his bones are brittle
8. He is very hardworking and he never says 'No' to any role
9. Rumor has it, they put him into a tricycle instead of putting in a van
10. He won many acting awards and lifetime achievement award.
11. There will be a law/bill to be passed to protect filmmakers safety.
Who do you think is responsible for his cause of death, leave a comment below.

LAVAROCK MANDALUYONG
Bagong bukas pa lang sila since October this year lang.
Kung sa location at area maliit lang ang spa at medyo masikip. Kaya naman kung di ka naman masyado
maarte at quality massage ang hanap mo ay dito ka na sa Lavarock. Kurtina lang pagitan, tiyak magkakarinigan, sa ngayon wala silang private room.
Try female therapist Angel kung gusto mo ng hard massage. Matagal na sya nagmama masahe kaya naman siguradong di ka mababalian. Expertise nya mga stretching kasi galing siya ng Nuat Thai.May mga male therapist din dito, so try nyo na mag relax dito kung within the area lang naman kayo.
They also offer home service massage.

NEW SPA IN MAKATI: GRIT SPA CORPORATION
Welcome back to my blog. It's been a long time since the last time hehe but anyway here is a new spa that I recommend. And friend ko rin ang nag recommend na i-try ko kaya Go ako ngayong may time. And time to relax na rin.
Unit G4-B Makati Cinema Square, Pasong Tamo, Makati City, Philippines
Madaling makita dahil pagdating mo sa Makati Cinema Square ay kita mo na siya agad, bungad lang. Magandang business strategy! Japanese ang may-ari.
Nag-open siya this October 1, 2022 and ang operating hours nya ay Opening Hours / 2:00PM - 4:00AM (Last call 3:30)
Hiring nga pala sila ng mga therapists, everyday ang interview just bring your resume. Sorry boys pero female therapists lang ang meron sila.
So this last weekend ng November nag try ako ng one hour massage nila, share ko ng kaunti yung experience.
Kapag peak hours or let's say weekends madaming client, so kailangan mo magpareserve. Kaya pagdating ko ay nag-iwan na lang ako ng contact number para kung sakaling may available na ay tawagan na lang nila ako. Mag u-ukay-ukay muna kami sa loob ng mall.
After 30 minutes tinawagan na ako, may available na raw silang therapist, so bumalik na ako. Ganito procedure nila.
Pili ka ng massage: Options nila:
DRY or OIL
Parang gusto ko ng dry kasi ayoko maging oily pero na convince ako ng receptionist na OIL, well yun talaga recommended eh mas mararamdaman mo daw talaga yung effect ng massage. Tapos pili ka ng oil
3 OIL OPTIONS:
Lavender
Green Tea
Mint
Pinili ko yung Green Tea, maganda raw sa katawan.
May form na fifill upan. Organized, sabagay Japanese may-ari eh. Isusulat mo kung anong type of massage, hard, medium or soft, anong part ng katawan ang hindi mo ipapagalaw, at anong part ng katawan ang focus. Bibilugan mo sa form, may drawing sila dun.
Gusto ko hard pero medium na lang muna tapos magpapa dagdag na lang ako ng pressure.
So start na ako, punta sa cubicle, marami silang cubicle na kurtina lang ang pagitan, malinis, mabango yung paligid, halatang bagong gawa. Yun maganda sa mga bagong spa kasi marerelax ka talaga sa kalinisan, sa amoy, sa space. Kaya masarap pa-massage sa mga bagong open na spa.
May timer ang therapist sa cubicle nakasabit sa gilid, bawal kasi silang mag relo.
May hangeran at box na pwede pag-lagyan ng mga damit. May isang unan at dalawang towel pantakip. Pwede ka ring mag request ng shorts kung gusto mo.
Yung name ng therapist ko ay Evelyn, kilala nya raw yung friend ko na kakilala nung may-ari. Kung bago ka dito I recommend kunin mo sya, gusto ko yung pressure ng massage nya.
Isang surprise para sa akin yung quality ng Green Tea oil nila, hindi matapang yung amoy at hindi malagkit yung pakiramdam sa katawan. Hindi ako nagsisisi kung bakit ito yung pinili ko.
Yung massage part na nakadapa ako, nung simula dami ko pang tanong, kinakausap ko yung therapist tapos nung minasahe na likod ko dun na ako nagsimulang makatulog, nagising na lang ako kasi pinpatihaya na ako.
Nagpatuloy ang masarap na massage hanggang sa matapos. May pa hot towel pa ang therapist at pupunasan ang likod mo. Pwede ka rin mag request ng hot tea sa reception.
Malawak ang reception area, bago ang sofa, malinis at masarap tumambay sandali.
Overall nagustuhan ko yung massage, sulit ang punta.
Magkano ang whole body massage nila? 350 pesos
Not bad. Legit na masahe nakaka relax.
Tips:
1. Contact Grit Spa first before coming para makapag pareserve ka
2. Meron silang Private room kung ayaw mo ng maingay sa paligid.
3. Maraming new arrivals sa ukay-ukay ng Makati Cinema Square tuwing weekend. More than five stores ang ukay dun.
Okay see you on the next spa.
