My girlfriend is actually traveling from Manila to Boracay this weekend with some friends.  When I talked to her last night they all still had their fingers crossed hoping that all of their PCR tests come back negative.  Shame I'm stuck over here, the deals on resorts there right now are incredible.

The requirements for travel between provinces is actually more extensive than just getting a covid test. You need to fill out a couple government forms online which includes an ID with your permanent location on the Philippines. If you are a foreigner this means it could be very hard to travel outside the province you are in without proving long stay visa or permanent residence. 

 

This along with all your LGU approved travel location along with booked airline tickets. 

 

Then some petty official at whatever LGU you will be sending it to has to approve it all.  All this before you even show up at the airport and get scanned a million more times. 

 

Then when you arrive at destination sometimes they ask for another covid test if you stay longer than 5 days. (not kidding)

Kind of sucks that your ability to travel or do other things hinges on the results of a faulty test.

They all made it.  Wish I could be there 😔probably won't get another chance to see the island so clean and not crowded
