The Philippine government's updated requirements eliminated mandatory COVID-19 testing for vaccinated travelers. New guidance states that vaccinated travelers over the age of 18 with at least one booster shot on top of a standard course of COVID-19 vaccination may present proof of vaccination as an alternative to submitting a negative test result. Travelers aged 17 and under are exempt from the pre-departure testing, provided that they have received at least two standard COVID-19 vaccine shots (without the requirement of a booster). Those under age 12 must be accompanied by fully vaccinated or boosted parents or guardians. However, unvaccinated or partially vaccinated travelers to the country must still abide by the old rules, meaning they must undergo a mandatory, facility-based quarantine until they receive a negative on-arrival RT-PCR test taken on the fifth day of their arrival, and subsequently complete a home-based quarantine until the end of their 14th day in the country.
