Travel preparations

The Philippines have been open to tourists again since February. However, the stay is limited to 30 days and there is a list of documents required for entry. Naturally, a vaccination certificate and a negative PCR test (not longer than 48 hours before departure) are required. A travel insurance must cover at least $35,000 in medical expenses in case of Corona and there are various tracing apps needed, with a different one for each province.

Now the Taal volcano has also erupted - whether the flight from Manila to Cagayan de Oro will be possible remains to be seen.
