My caution is don't prepay if you can or use a credit card guarantee that you might need to spend time resolving.
Even on cards with built in insurance, it will take time and money to get your money back if you ever do. With Airplane tickets are are stuck. You need to pay upfront. If the airline cancels your flight, you might be moved to a different flight automatically. But getting cash back even in the best of times is time consuming and expensive.
YMMV. I don't care what you do. I am just sharing my experience.

Even if you are protected, it can be time consuming and long.
In the current environment, some major companies are playing games and dragging things out.
If possible, I would not give a credit hold. There are plenty of places that would skip a credit card hold. Or use a travel agency.
It is very difficult to travel internationally now and those operators still up are desperate.

That is why when tour operators or airlines went bankrupt people who had not flown were refunded money by the card company. People who had flown one way got something for their money and so were out of luck for the remainder.
You might have a fight to get the money back but if you can demonstrate that you were unable to use the hotel because it was not accepting guests you should prevail in the long run.
Of course that still does not solve the issue of where you will sleep tonight.

Some hotels silently closed because confirmed case (s) stayed there and they reopen. Others close to wait out the storm.
Glad to see some posts of people helping out. I just hope my efforts will not get me in trouble. Can support a couple villages and some girls close by but the girls close by are too close. Last thing Ineed is one loose cannon.
There are exemptions but there are over zealous dirty harries who might shoot first.

I've no plans on travelling anywhere soon. Firstly, because of the risks that you mentioned would be much higher than where I am now. Secondly, travel restrictions have yet to be relaxed here and I can't drive across town, let alone catch a non essential international flight.
Enjoy. G.

Would you fly to the USA now and holiday? I see that as a good question to ask about the Philippines.

Posts: 5Some Manila hotels opened up their reservation systems
Some hotels like Dusit Thani seems to be accepting reservations from 16th of May onwards. Let's take it as a positive sign.
