Posts: 3230To those wishing to visit PH as soon as possible
To all the guys not in the Philippines who are desperately checking ISG Phils thread daily to see when you can get back here as quickly as possible:
Let me assure you that you don't want to be here right now despite having 100's of girls on line offering you all manner of promises for what you will be able to do with and to them when you get here (for a price of course).
Most shops are still closed. Very few people around, and those locals that are around are very leery of foreigners (since they are known carriers of deadly international germs LOL).
Most hotels have strict quarantine provisions so you will not be having an endless stream of visitors. Condos have strict regulations for visitors, and every barangay council has its own set of rules. For example, if you are over 60 you can walk down one street but if you cross the road into another barangay you can be stopped and fined. You can also be fined if you don't wear a mask, and the locals will quickly report you too.
The new terrorism bill passed last week makes it much easier for LE to charge foreigners for any sort of misadventure (even if it's an accident). Don't believe any desperate women who say that everything is OK now. It's not.
My regular massage woman wants me to let her come to my condo even though my condo is relaxing visitor rules from this weekend, but I know she lives in one of the hot-spot areas and I don't want her in my place getting all close and personal right now. She has not been tested but she assures me she has not had any contact with the virus.
Of course she doesn't know that.
Thankfully I have my own condo and I haven't moved further than 2 blocks from home in the past month and don't plan to do so.
Life in PH now is very much different to how it used to be in February 2020.
Cool your jets guys. Take cold showers and resign yourself to the fact that you shouldn't come to the Phils for at least 3 or 4 more months.

It does not allow free inter-provincial travel.
It definitely does not allow international arrivals.
My guess is that we will not have easy travel around the country until late in this year and no international tourist arrivals until sometime mid 2021. This may change drastically if a vaccine, or cure, or preventative medicine becomes widely available.

You seem obsessed with this matter and truly believe in Santa. Where in all this stuff does it say 'tourist visas will be issued' or even better 'tourist visas will be issued without the tourist going to mandatory quarantine and pay for it'.
Get real, while the figures are better than the USA (but all countries are) this does not seem to be a sensible way to try and persuade the Philippine government to let you back to the country to help your MSB (massive sperm build up) problem.
Hopefully can get a refund for whatever ticket / hotel you have booked as most mongers I speak to are planning 2 Q 2021 before they go back.
Read the sensible reports from other posters about the situation on the ground and then out that into your crystal ball please.

Posts: 405" Lorenzana claimed that the World Health Organization predicted that the coronavirus would have killed almost 7,000 Filipinos in the first three months of the lockdown, with cases reaching as high as 75,000. As of yesterday, the country has 38,085 reported COVID-19 cases, with 1,274 deaths and 10,673 recoveries. ".
Philippines government remains glass half full on its fight with COVID, I think they might push for reopening their economy sooner than "worst case".
Since the cases don't reflect the worst case scenario, I think we see them experiment with reopening despite the rising number of infected cases. Regardless of it being bad or not as bad, public sentiment and the liability placed on local government and business owners keeps this lockdown firmly in place.
When the public starts to not fear this virus regardless of the real safety or the lack there of and we see the onus put on patrons rather than governments and businesses, I think we see things reopen for real.
"Lorenzana claims COVID-19 cases have 'plateaued'; 80% of PH to be on MGCQ on July 16".

However your point is well made. With Covid we don't really know about immunity, it is appearing that the worse your symptom the more immunity gained but that is about the limit of our knowledge.

I definitely wouldn't be liaising with anyone from those areas.
The other problem you might encounter is that those areas may well be totally locked-down by the time you are in the NCR. The Mayor Isko Mareno was on TV earlier syaing that he was thinking he will have to do that because of the infection rates.

Mr FT I think you were more interested in flirting with that nurse. I have a feeling that the way this pandemic is progressing we will all be sending more time flirting with nurses.

Posts: 193Antibody test
I was in country January and February before full on shit storm hit. While there I had a cold and sinus infection. Antibiotics etc cured after a few days. I was thinking I might have had the covid flu so when back home I got the antibody test (blood test) hoping it would be positive giving me some potential immunity. Nope, test came back negative. Nurse said that is Good News sir. I said not really, I was hoping to have some immunity and she said maybe it will be a slightly different strain later. I laughed and told her if her logic was true then we both should not bother with annual flu shot bcuz we never know exactly which strain of flu will be around that year. She hesitated and said of course you are correct but I have been told what we have to say, wtf.
