ATTENTION - WHAT TO EXPECT
You will undergo the required COVID testing in Clark rather than in Manila, and quarantine at a Clark hotel accredited by the Philippine health and tourism authorities.
Once you receive a negative test result (usually in 48 hours of the test, although the release timing varies and may be longer or shorter), non-OFWs and foreign nationals may avail of the free shuttle/bus service to NAIA Terminal 2 that PAL will schedule, at no extra charge. The transportation for OFWS will be handled by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
Please note that the cost for the COVID tests and the quarantine hotel will be borne by the traveler. (For Overseas Filipino Workers - OFWs, the government will shoulder the cost of tests and accommodation).
