I was there November thru January. Mask required on the plane and kind of in the airport and the few government offices I visited but not really enforced (as if it was around ears and pulled under chin no one wanted "nosebleed" to talk to me about it).
In Cavite, Bohol and Puerto Princesa some folks wore masks in malls, I and family didn't and we had no issues.
I didn't go to the embassy as we are done with that fun.
Headed back two weeks from today to bring my MIL here as she finally got her visa (PD was 7/9/2009). Long story 😃
