Travel preparations

The Philippines has been open to tourists since February. However, the stay is limited to 30 days and there is a list of documents required for entry. Proof of vaccination and a negative PCR test (taken no more than 48 hours before departure) are required. Travel insurance must cover at least $35,000 in medical expenses in case of COVID-19 and there are different tracing apps required for each province.

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