Posts: 3040I am no expert on contagion, but it seems to me a country, any country, will have to keep their quarantine / lockdown in effect until at least 14 days after the last known occurrence or risk a 2nd flare up or until a cure can be widely distributed. The Z pac is looking ever more promising in this respect. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) + Azithromycin.

If flights do start up again on April 15 or 16 you can expect that preference will be given to those who have either a Philippines passport or a permanent visa (like a 39 a / spouse visa).
It hasn't been established yet when visas on arrival will be re-commenced. You'd be wise not to book hotels until the visa aspect is clarified.

Hi TK,
An optimistic precision is late June, or early Sept to be safe. Since China needed 3 months to come out of it (not fully).
Based in the non-cooperation in other continents by citizens and their country due to ignorance or sheer stupidity, Sept would probably be closer to the reality.
If you decide to go to PH quickly, make sure you book agoda rooms you can cancel.
Be safe,
Vic.

Posts: 194Sh! T! Thanks guys for all of the info. Sounds terrible. I booked at the Oxford Makati Palace, I've emailed and even facebook messaged them, but no answer. I'll probably have to contact Agoda or my credit card to get the cancellation. This sucks. I originally planned on going to Thailand and Philippines because I know there won't be any Chinese / Koreans / Japanese driving up the prices and it would benefit me, but looks like I won't be traveling the rest of this year until all of this blows over. Hopefully with the economies recovering afterwards, it will be back to the pre-2000 prices / fun right fellas?

Restaurants are slowly starting to open and is available to order through lalafood and GrabExpress. Transport is still unavailable so you need to arrange for a car.
The only escorts I have been able to book are those with their own cars. Erin has a car and a driver so she's the only one I was able to see and another non-pro lady. It's a miserable time to be in Philippines.

Can you even get a flight into the country and return to your own? Most western countries have banned international departures and arrivals. The same for transit airports. You certainly won't be travelling via Japan, Singapore nor Hong Kong.
Full disclosure: I'm not actually in country now. I was due to be but had my flight cancelled. I've received full refunds or credit vouchers for all flights and hotels so I'm just going to delay my trip. I'd suggest you do the same.
Cheers. G.

Posts: 194What's the situation in manila like recently? I have a hotel and flights book for end of April that I bought 3 months ago. Can't get in touch with the hotel to cancel or see how the situation is. Who's on the ground?

Let us be shunned then. We wouldn't starve to death anyway.
