A year of HCV therapy here in the U.S. can cost more than $USD 40.000 (PHP 1.737.600). The drugs and care may be less expensive in Cebu though.

FlGuy makes a good point; have you gotten a genotype yet? A genotype test would be the next logical step, and it requires sufficient virus present to process. If the test can’t be run, it’s very likely you don’t have active infection.

It depends on a few factors.  If you do not have medical insurance, many many thousands of dollars.  On the other hand, if you do not have hepatitis C it's fairly inexpensive.  Did you have that viral load test?
