Wouldn't it be cheaper to take the money and buy the meter and strips there?

They're not very expensive.

Cost of the strips can add up, and best not to buy in too bigger quantity as they don't have a too longer shelf life.

Ask at a pharmacy what strips they can get in cheapest, then buy the matching meter even if it's not the lowest price it is the strips which hit the wallet. TBH I'd buy one out there, you don't know what test strips are available in the Phillipines.
