I assume from your question, that your company has a testing laboratory which plans to implement a management system according to ISO17025:2017. The pathway to accreditation basically consists of 2 stages. Stage 1 is Implementation and maintenance. Stage 2 is application, assessment and awarding of accreditation by your national accreditation body. The costs depend on the current resources you have and the fees of your accreditation body. A big component can be the cost related to method development and procuring calibration services to assure metrological traceability. 

Stage 1 starts with purchasing the standard, having personnel available to establish the processes and documented information (procedures and records), personnel to evaluate performance of activities (such as test method performance, handling complaints), perform internal audits and management to review the entire system. Here you can determine your costs through a project pan. Have a look at what Advisera can offer, and if using templates will be beneficial for your company.

Stage 2  involves applying for accreditation. I recommend you contact your national accreditation body, the Philippine Accreditation Bureau, who is listed, along with their contact and website detail, in the ILAC MRA Signatory search page at https://ilac.org/signatory-search/. You can request a quote from them.
