14 day quarantine still a thing?
Only way I would do this 14 day quarantine is if you could receive girls or they allow a "girlfriend" to be locked in the room with you on arrival.
Any idea on the prices of these mandated hotels? Getting stuck on one of these ships for 14 days will be a nightmare.
Can we get the "girlfriends" house qualified as a quarantine facility?
Some poor souls got diverted to cebu instead of manila, So you can't even really book a hotel before hand. This blurb from pal doesn't state that negative tests will need to be quarantined. It is worded as if you will be free to go after 24-48 hours.
"If your flight arrives in Cebu, you will undergo the required COVID testing in Cebu rather than in Manila, and quarantine at a Cebu hotel accredited by the Department of Health. Once you receive a negative test result (usually within 24 to 48 hours of the test), PAL will arrange to transport you from Cebu to Manila, at no extra charge. (Please note that the cost for COVID tests and quarantine hotels will be borne by the traveler, whether the tests and quarantine take place in Cebu or Manila.) ".

Only thing than can stop me is if the action is limited. If we can somehow get around that I'm ready to go, bags have ben packed for months.
I am keeping my eye on the Philippines consulate as a leading indicator, They are opening back up in the US on Jun15-16 to philippinos, but no visa services so as soon as they start processing visas again I think even that 14 day quarantine will cancelled.

But the main obstacle now is the virus numbers are not coming down to a comfortable level something like 2 digits.
Duterte wants to open up the economy ASAP looking from his easing of NCR to GCQ even w the 4-500's virus numbers.
But foreigner tourists entry looks very dim at least for a few months unless virus numbers reduce drastically.
Just look out for updates of CQ status changes on mid and end of month w virus numbers and you will roughly know where the situation is heading.
I have been here since Feb, luckily building management is not too strict and I m able to bring girls back once in awhile after my live-in girl contract ended.
