"Welcome" is a curious choice of words. I have never felt that the Philippines was welcoming me. Rather I felt that I was allowed entry in order empty my pockets of money as quickly as possible so I could go home and return with more.
More cogitation needs to be done.

What an unfortunate way to let yourself feel. Cogitate more and maybe some niceness will come your way.

My vaccination card documents that I have been fully vaccinated yet this standard issued card can easily be forged.

The Philippines uses a yellow vaccination card which can be bought from Amazon. Who knows if they'll even accept other countries vaccination cards, Thailand needed a QR code with your vaccination records (easily obtainable from your hospital). Who knows what might happen to a person who arrives with a fake vaccination card in a country banning entry to all unvaccinated. And is then found out.

I'd also keep a close eye on Airbnb's and their wordings on who can enter the condo. No use making a trip if they won't allow girls to visit your room.

Also, as you point out the conditions of entry are not fully explained. Will a period of quarantine or testing be required? What constitutes fully vaccinated and how is that evidenced?

Hmm, if flight cost are correct.

Quick check Paris-Manila and back: 1200 euros. At best.

Need to wait a little bit more.

Effective on or about 10 February foreigners are going to be welcome here again, so I am guessing that a lot of guys will start packing.

GE.

[GoodEnough]

For whatever this is worth, the Government of the Philippines released a statement today saying that, effective 16 February, all foreigners entering the country will be required to show proof of full vaccination. There is no mention in the announcement of tourists being allowed to enter, nor does the announcement stipulate what's meant by "full vaccination. ".

GE.

Anyone able to translate what they are saying in the video?

Another report on the PI opening but unfortunately specifically referencing Tourist Visas still not being issued.

Sorry, no direct reference to sex tourists. 😁.

Well then, I take back the celebratory pic. Don't look.

[Goferring]

Good catch. Even more important, there's no specific mention of sex tourists. If they really wanted tourists back, surely they would have made reference to sex tourists. I guess we're back on hold.

There are still no Tourists allowed!

And this link is also not saying that. There is not an single word about Tourists, because Tourists are still not allowed to enter the Country. Read it again. There is no word about Tourists.

Still no Tourists! When you have an source with the Information that PH will open to Tourists (and not foreign travelleres, which does not mean tourists) please post it here and not these fake news.

Boy that post didn't age well!

Two things about that:

1) Its 17 months later.

2) For about 8 months into the lockdown, even SRRV holders weren't allowed back in.

[Rick Rock]

Here's to Group 2! I'll be applying for SRRV next year when all this bullshit blows over.

The Philippines has just announced that it will begin to allow fully vaccinated foreigners back into the country beginning on February 18. Heres the link: https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1165425?fbclid=IwAR1JoJczKiKIM3hgpU0_XQDw0Yy8KCZv1Rr55oLb3xXxwQpkAH5Cs-gILoo

The link is only about foreign nationals entering the PH. That means Visa Holders, Family, Business visas and so on.

Still no Tourists! When you have an source with the Information that PH will open to Tourists (and not foreign travelleres, which does not mean tourists) please post it here and not these fake news.
