There is a section in the registration process that asks what Quarantine hotel you have chosen (lengthy drop-down box with many hotels listed). As we are no longer required to quarantine, how does one answer that question.

For the gents who have come in since February's opening, how did you answer that question?

I am curious, and the form doesn't allow submissions before 24 hours (by day). Not sure how that works if the flight is around 00:01.

Much better explained.

So, I've completed the first part. Pretty confusing.

I'm fairly sure I need to book a night in a quarantine hotel, but before I got past the first page indicating my dates of travel, I had no idea of this.

I don't know why I do this shit to myself. I was the mongering test pilot for the Phuket sandbox scheme. It would now appear I'm going to end up doing the same for the new PI entry system. Will report back when I start step 1 in 12 hours time.

I watched the video and it looks simple.

The step they missed is for mongers to pre-book themselves in for an STI screen upon returning home.

What is an STI screen?

Can anyone confirm?

For fully vaccinated travellers, no longer any quarantine hotel requirement.

Pre pandemic days my buses always left on time to the minute. Of course I did not take the last bus of the day either. The buses then were around the clock.

My bus NAIA-CRK left 5-10 minutes BEFORE the scheduled time, as it was already full.

Its confusing. The new system starts May 4. Inbound foreigners will have to wait until 24 hours prior to their departure (previously 3 days) to register. Then the must log in again 12 hours prior to departure to complete another step. Then again 4 hours prior to departure to complete a final step.

I've been through it, and its not all that bad. Its a bit confusing, and not all the time the upload is successful, may have to repeat many times. Even after I successfully completed all the steps I still was unable to pass at the airport and had to go through the "long" process. But the good news is the long process was very easy, and quite fast. There is a lot of staff and I just had to provide all the documents in person. Basically took an extra 3-5 minutes, so I didn't have any difficulty. My biggest concern is the departure process ATM.

It's very confusing and sensless. What if you have a late connecting flight and are running to the gate and miss the second 1-hour check-in? Unless you can do it all on the first leg of the journey. Hopefully someone can report back on the experience.

Look at this form 02:30 min:

They want to split the one health in registering 24 h before and again 4 to 1 hours before the departure.

It all seems to be some really unnecessary BS. But what should we expect from officials in the PH?

The genesis timetable says last bus 7 pm from NAIA to Clark. My scheduled arrival is 7 pm. From pre-pandemic days I remember they used to just wait anyways. Until about an hour after my flight arrived.

I'm assuming it's still the same, any intel on last departure?

NAIA Terminal 3, near Bay 1. No reservation needed, pay on the bus, 380 pesos. The conductor will place your baggage in the hold and ask where you're going. Your stop is SM Clark. Of couse, bring your smaller handcarry on the bus.

This use to be part of the Mansion Group. Yes, it was pretty run-down by the time it was sold, and the name changed.

Sunny Bay Suites, I stayed there every time I was in Manila due to the proximity to LA Cafe. I time they found a hairline tear on the sofa which I am sure I was not the culprit as I did seat on it. I had to cough out 2 grand.
