What happens to me when I step off the plane arriving in Manila?

[Mylilelar1 8]

All over the place on info. Everything almost brings me to a May 11th bulletin where I have to be quarantined 14 days. One other states 2-5 days awaiting results. Anyone have any info on this? Know anyone who has gone through this?

I did find the latest info as of Sept. 15. How is the "quarantine hotel" they require one to stay at?   Lots of questions. I haven't seen here as late many if at all being in Manila for their spouses interview.

Depending on the airline of course,was the plane social distanced with mandatory empty seats on your way back to your home country with your wife? Was it packed? Was it almost empty?

You can choose the hotel to quarantine at.  Lots of options, from dodgy to super swanky --

From the few people I have talked to who have traveled to Manila recently the airlines won't let him on the plane without it. At least PAL won't.

Thank you. Yes,I need a marriage certificate, a special visa for me from the San Francisco consulate and proof that my wife is going back with me via a ticket for her. Her friends over 60 are locked down in Isabella province up north. I'm 67.Am I allowed to go out and about in Manila? Or will I be quarantined because of my age? I have emailed to San Francisco consulate with no response. I have emailed RapidVisa with no response and now I am here. Thank you for your answer on verification that I need a special visa to enter the Philippines. And from my readings,It looks like I will be quarantined from 2-5 days upon arrival. But if I'm quarantined because of my age, why should I go there? Unlike the 2-5 days upon arrival, I won't be getting any younger when I arrive there either.

Don't be surprised if they don't change the rules before you fly  . . . or even while you are flying.

Pay for your RT-PCR Swab Test in the airport. The test costs Php 4,500. At your age, you can only go out for food or medicine, although I've never seen an ID check in my area of Manila.

Thank you. I don't need any medicine but perhaps restaurants count as food. Thanks again.

Why do they always call Mac Arthur and spell it McArthur when listing the street?

 

1. Nice Hotel- Mc Arthur

Do they think it on hamburger street?  Not very professional to come from a government agency who can't even spell.

 

It's one of my pet peeves in Philippines, they tend to do this alot.
