Posts: 4051Friendly Word of Caution
For those contemplating a visit here, I'the urge you to reconsider postponing your travel. Manila goes into lockdown mode tomorrow. Davao and General Santos City are already in lockdown. Angeles City has imposed severe restrictions on who gets into or out of the city. In Davao, where I live, the official proclamation From the local government mandates that no residents may leave; that all visitors must leave, and that those considering travel here are urged to postpone the travel until the emergency ends. My guess is that many cities are going to follow this lead and attempt to seal themselves off from the rest of the country for a month or two. According to the most recent announcement from the President, "social distancing" will be rigidly enforced by the PNP and AFP, which doesn't create a happy situation for bars encouraging social closeness.
Here is Davao, which I assume to be at least somewhat representative of the other larger cities in the country, serious hoarding has already begun, and I'm guessing that it won't be long before we witness perturbations of the supply chains that allow restaurants and food sellers to restock. My impression, for whatever it's worth, is that the national government here is serious about trying to contain this virus and it's not messing around. I note as well that per President Duterte, the AFP is now authorized to make arrests of those who do not comply.
Again, just my opinion as someone who's noting the changes to daily life here in Davao.
GE.

My girlfriend just hit me up and said President Duterte just ordered the lock down of Manila starting March 15 until April 14. Land, domestic air and sea travel coming in and going out of Manila is not allowed starting March 15.

Posts: 3452Thanks guys. After a little more research, I think DG's comments are correct and the clock starts on the day after arrival. So arrive on the 1st and leave on the 31st is ok.
Cheers. G.

Otherwise there are many BI offices through out PH. Many province BI offices are easy to get extension without long wait.
Go to BI website for locations. One time I extended in Davao and it was a very pleasant experience.

Posts: 3452Guys, I have fucked up my next flights and will be departing on my 31st day.
Will I be able to sweet talk a 31 day VOA? If not, can I extend on arrival day at NAIA?
I paid the fine at NAIA Departure once before so am reluctant to do it again lest I make it on some undesirable overstayer list.
I'm hunting in the Province so getting back to a Immigration office for a 1 day extension is going to be a major PITA.
Ideas?
Thanks. G.

Hi M S.
You are well informed.
As well, the Right mask only lasts MAX 4 hours!
The mask budget might exceed the mongering budget after some time LOL.
