• Download the TRAZE App from your mobile store and install it on your phone

The QR code can be used at any DOTr Office nationwide.

Kalibo International Airport

3 Days from now dapat na-inform na kayo ng mga Airlines (as of this time hindi pa po ito nakapost as reminders sa kanilang mga Official FB Pages) Philippine Airlines Airasia at Cebu Pacific Air hopefully makapag post na rin sila to inform their passengers ahead of time.

Reminder po, simula sa 23 July 2020 required na ang RT-PCR negative test result sa lahat ng mga pasahero na patungong Kalibo (Aklan) as per Provincial EO No. 029-B series of 2020 date 16 July 2020. Kung kukuha po ng RT-PCR test kukuha lamang sa clinic at hospital na accredited ng DOH.
Just to share, Sitwasyon po ngayon kasi dito sa NAIA T2 may mga pasahero na hindi nakasakay sa eroplano patungong Davao dahil wala po silang idea na may ganitong requirements sa kanilang destination at di naman daw sila na-inform ni Airline. Kaya po kahit paulit-ulit na itong post at least may idea na po kayo, iwas gastos patungong NAIA tapos di kayo makapag-board.

If you are in doubt/ uncertain please see your carriers FB Page/ Travel Agent , Aklan Province FB Official Page, Provincial Health Office-Aklan FB Page and "CAAP AREA VI" official FB Page for Western Visayas airport passengers.

DOTr GUIDELINES on Social Distancing and Community Quarantine

AVIATION SECTOR

🇵🇭

15/03/2020

We are currently on a temporary break.

As you all know, as early as January 3,2020 we already filed for new business permits&licenses.

But as soon as the COVID19 concern broke out, we decided to continue the application for our new business permits in a new address/city and resume operations at a later date after our permits and licenses are released.

This was to avoid rebooking and cancellation issues that may have caused our valued local and international clients had we already completed our licenses and started operations early this year.

Let us all pray for everybody's safety and for this virus to die down soon.

God bless everyone! ✈️🌍🌺

DOTr Press Release
15 March 2020

DOTr guidelines para sa community quarantine laban sa paglaganap ng COVID-19, inilabas na

PASAY CITY – Upang labanan ang paglaganap ng Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) sa bansa, inilabas ng Department of Transportation (DOTr) ang guidelines nito kaugnay sa ipinatutupad na community quarantine at social distancing. Alinsunod ito sa kautusan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na isailalim ang buong National Capital Region (NCR) sa isang community quarantine para mapigilan ang pagkalat ng nakahahawang sakit.

“Kailangan nating pasanin ang bigat, indahin ang abala at sakripisyo para sa ikabubuti ng nakararami at ng ating bayan. Pansamantala lamang ang mga protokol na ito. Kung mas malalim ang ating kooperasyon, at taos-puso tayong mag-aambag ng ating makakaya, mas mabilis nating malalagpasan ang pagsubok na ito,” ayon kay DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade.

Sa ilalim ng quarantine period, inanunsyo ng Aviation sector na wala munang general aviation flights sa loob ng Metro Manila. Sa halip, ida-divert ang mga ito o pansamantalang ililipat sa Sangley Airport sa Cavite o Clark International Airport sa Pampanga.

Ngunit papayagan pa ring lumipad ang mga cargo flights; air ambulance na may lamang medical supplies; government/military flights; weather mitigation flights; at maintenance at utility flights.

Para sa mga international flights, nilinaw ng Aviation sector na papayagan ang tinatawag na special airport-to-airport trips na maaaring gawin ng mga airlines, sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa airport authorities.

Hihikayatin ng Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) ang mga lokal na airlines na mag-serbisyo ng sweeper flights palabas ng Maynila at sa iba pang mga paliparan.

Ipatutupad din ng Aviation sector ang isang metro o one (1) meter social distancing measure para mapanatili ang sapat at ligtas na distansya ng mga pasahero sa bawat isa. Magpapakalat ng signages o mga paalala ukol sa pagpapatupad nito na ilalagay sa iba’t-ibang lugar sa paliparan.

Paalala pa rin ng nasabing sector na tanging mga pasahero lamang at mga tauhan ng paliparan ang maaring pumasok at lumabas sa mga airport terminals.

Sa Railway sector naman, sinabi ng pamunuan na magbabawas ang mga tren ng mga sakay nito para makontrol ang dami ng pasaherong sasakay.

Pamamahalaan ng mga train station personnel ang pagpasok ng mga pasahero sa mga istasyon at ipatutupad ang maayos na pagpila at wastong distansya sa loob at labas ng mga istasyon.

Hindi naman papayagang pumasok sa mga istasyon at tren ang sinumang pasahero na makikitaan ng sintomas ng COVID-19 o may temperaturang nasa 38’degrees centigrade pataas. Alinsunod ito sa utos ng Department of Health (DOH).

Paiigtingin pa ang pagbubukod sa mga babae at senior citizens sa loob ng tren. Ngayon, magkakaroon na ng subsection para sa mga senior citizens o matatanda.

Dagdag pa ng rail sector, suspendido rin muna ang biyahe ng PNR mula Alabang patungong Calamba at pabalik dahil na rin sa pagpapatupad ng community quarantine sa NCR.

Sa Road sector, nagpaalala ang pamunuan na hindi dapat hihigit sa apat (4) na pasahero ang sakay ng mga Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS), kasama na rito ang airport taxis.

Hindi rin muna papayagan ang multiple bookings na ipinatutupad ng mga TNVS, maging ang pilot implementation ng Motorcycle Taxis.

Para sa mga pampublikong sasakyan, ipatutupad ang passenger limit. Sa mga UV Express, hindi dapat hihigit sa anim (6) na pasahero; para sa mga lumang unit ng Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) naman, hindi hihigit sa kalahati ng regular na kapasidad nito; habang sa mga unit naman na sumusunod sa Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (Class 2 and 3), hindi rin dapat susobra sa seating capacity nito at wala dapat na nakatayong pasahero.

Sa mga pampublikong bus, hindi dapat hihigit sa dalawampu’t-lima (25) ang mga pasahero, kasama na ang drayber at konduktor, at walang nakatayong pasahero.

Hindi papapasukin sa anumang terminal ang sinumang may sintomas ng COVID-19, gaya ng pagkakaroon ng temperaturang nasa 38 degrees centigrade o higit pa, may malalang ubo, o hirap sa paghinga.

Pinapayuhan din ang mga drayber at konduktor na paalalahanan ang kanilang mga pasahero na magpakita ng isang valid ID kung saan nakasaad ang address ng kanilang pinagtatrabahuhan sa NCR at ng kanilang tirahan, batay na rin sa kautusan ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) at Philippine National Police (PNP).

Samantala, tuloy pa rin ang operasyon ng mga Point-to-Point (P2P) na bus mula sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) patungong Clark International Airport at Sangley Airport ayon sa schedules nito.

Sa Maritime sector naman, ipatutupad ang mahigpit na quarantine procedures para sa mga tripulante o crew ng cargo vessels na nanggaling sa mga pantalan na apektado ng COVID-19 batay sa IATF Resolutions. Hindi rin sila papayagang bumaba sa kanilang mga barko, ayon sa umiiral na guidelines.

Suspendido rin ang galaw ng mga pasahero sa lahat ng pantalan na papasok at lalabas sa National Capital Region (NCR) habang ipinatutupad ang community quarantine. Subalit, tuloy pa rin ang mga ferry service sa loob ng NCR, sa kondisyon na ipatutupad ang 50% na kabawasan sa kapasidad nito ayon sa panuntunan ng Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA).

Ang mga barko na regular na bumabiyahe sa mga ruta sa loob ng NCR ay papayagang dumaong sa mga pantalan sa labas ng Metro Manila. Kinakailangan lamang nilang magsumite ng aplikasyon sa MARINA ng kanilang Special Permit.

Binigyang-diin naman ng Maritime sector na hindi maaantala ang galaw ng mga cargo patungo at palabas ng NCR. Lahat ng cargo trucks/vans papasok at palabas ng Port of Manila (South Harbor, MICT, North Harbor at Manila Harbor Center) ay kinakailangang kumuha ng Cargo Entry/Withdrawal Permit (CEWP) mula sa Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), na ipapakita sa mga itinalagang checkpoints.

Ipatutupad din ang "No Sail” o pagbabawal sa paglalayag sa mga sasakyang pandagat mula at patungo sa anumang pantalan sa Metro Manila, maliban na lamang sa foreign ships na kinakailangang dumaan sa CIQS procedures, mga domestic cargo, sasakyang pandagat sa pangingisda at government vessels o sasakyang pandagat ng pamahalaan, alinsunod sa panuntunan ng DOH.

Ipatutupad din ng maritime sector ang one-meter social distancing sa mga pantalan, terminal, onboard vessels, at mga watercraft.

Panghuli, magtatalaga rin ng mga entry at exit controls ang sektor sa mga pantalan at iba pang maritime areas at karagatan na tinukoy ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).

Samantala, sasailalim ang guidelines na ito ng Kagawaran ng Transportasyon sa araw-araw na review o pagsusuri, at babaguhin kung kinakailangan.

DOTr releases guidelines on social distancing, community quarantine vs COVID-19 spread

PASAY CITY -- The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has released its guidelines on the community quarantine and social distancing measures yesterday, 14 March 2020, following the earlier order of President Rodrigo Duterte to place the National Capital Region (NCR) under community quarantine to stop the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

"We all have to bear the burden, carry personal inconveniences and sacrifices for the common good and our nation's interest. These protocols are temporary. The deeper we cooperate and unselfishly carry our share, the faster we shall overcome!" Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade stressed.

During the quarantine period, the aviation sector has announced that there will be no general aviation flights within Metro Manila. As such, flights will be diverted to Sangley Airport in Cavite or to the Clark International Airport in Pampanga.

However, cargo flights; air ambulance and medical supplies; government/military flights; weather mitigation flights; and maintenance and utility flights will still be permitted.

For international flights, the aviation sector stressed that there will be special airport-to-airport trips arranged by the airlines in coordination with airport authorities.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) will also encourage local airlines to operate sweeper flight/s out of Manila and into other airports.

The aviation sector will also implement the one (1) meter social distancing measure. Signages reminding its stakeholders to observe proper social distancing will also be posted in strategic points.

Moreover, the sector adds, only passengers and essential personnel can enter and exit the airport terminals.

The rail sector meanwhile announced that trains will be loaded at reduced capacity to minimize the concentration of passengers per train.

Train station personnel will also regulate the entry of passengers into stations, and will implement measures for orderly and distanced queuing both inside and outside stations.

A passenger showing COVID-19 symptoms or having a body temperature of 38 degrees centigrade and above will be refused entry to the stations and trains. This is pursuant to the guidelines imposed by the Department of Health (DOH).

The women’s and senior citizens section of train cars will be further separated, designating a subsection for senior citizens.

The rail sector added that PNR operations from Alabang to Calamba and vice versa will be suspended during the community quarantine period.

For the road sector, it has reminded Transportation Network Vehicle Services (TNVS), including airport taxis, to transport not more than four (4) passengers.

Multiple bookings for a single trip provided by the TNVS, and the pilot implementation of Motorcycle Taxis will be temporarily suspended, it added.

As for the UV Express, the road sector stressed that it should not have more than six (6) passengers; while old units of Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) should carry not more than half of their regular capacity; and as for Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (OFG) compliant units (Class 2 and 3), they should not have more than half of the seating capacity, without standing passengers;

Public Utility Busses (PUBs), meanwhile, should not have more than 25 passengers, which includes the driver and conductor, and without any standing passenger.

The guideline further states that terminal operators will not allow any person to enter their premises if that person is showing any COVID-19 symptoms.

For all PUVs entering and exiting Metro Manila, drivers and conductors will have to request passengers to present one (1) valid ID (which indicates the address of work place, and residence) to comply with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Philippine National Police (PNP) procedures and protocols at all entry/exit points.

Meanwhile, Point-to-Point (P2P) buses from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Clark International Airport and Sangley Airport will be allowed to operate as scheduled.

For the maritime sector, crew members of cargo vessels originating from COVID-19 affected ports identified under relevant IATF Resolutions will be subjected to stringent quarantine procedures and will not be allowed to disembark.

Passenger traffic in all ports going in and out of the National Capital Region (NCR) will be suspended during the period of community quarantine. However, ferry services within the NCR will continue its operations provided that it will follow the 50% reduced capacity as prescribed by the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA).

Ships normally plying routes within the NCR will be allowed to call at ports outside of the same on application for the issuance of a Special Permit with the MARINA during the period of the community quarantine.

The maritime sector meanwhile has assured that movement of cargo to and from the NCR will be unhampered. All cargo trucks/vans going in and out of the Port of Manila shall secure a Cargo Entry/Withdrawal Permit (CEWP) from the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), which shall be presented for validation at designated checkpoints.

Meanwhile, there will be a "No Sail” policy for all vessels carrying passengers calling to and from any ports of Metro Manila except foreign ships subject to CIQS procedures and domestic cargo, fishing and government vessels subject to health screening pursuant to DOH advisories and guidelines.

The maritime sector adds that posting of materials regarding the observance of the one (1) meter social distancing measure in ports, terminals and onboard vessels and water craft will be in place.

There will be an establishment of entry and exit controls in ports and other maritime areas and waters as identified by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG).

The DOTr also pointed out, that the policy will be subjected to daily review and revision, as necessary.
