PRESS RELEASE

Aliens with BI-approved visas can still leave sans ACR I-Card

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) said it will continue to allow the departure of foreign nationals with approved immigrant and non-immigrant visas even if they have not yet been issued their alien certificate of registration identity card (ACR I-Card).

In an advisory, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the Bureau extended until December 31 this year its policy temporarily allowing foreigners with approved and implemented visas to leave pending release of their ACR I-Card.

He explained that in lieu of the ACR I-Card, the said departing aliens need only to present official receipts of the ACR I-Card waiver application fee and reentry permit (RP) or special return certificate (SRC).

Morente said the extension is due to the implementation of the community quarantine in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces and the relatively high number of COVID-19 cases in the country.

BI Deputy Commissioner J. Tobias Javier, whose office processes ACR I-Card waiver applications, said he recommended the extension so as not to inconvenience foreigners who wish to leave the country during the pandemic.

“Immigration officers, upon presenting official receipts of fees paid by the alien, should ensure that the passenger has a valid visa implemented on his or her passport before clearing the latter for departure,” Javier said.

He also advised that departing aliens to safekeep their official receipts as the same shall serve as their ACR I-Card waiver which they would need to present upon their return to the country.

Javier stressed that payment of the ACR I-Card waiver application fees and corresponding ECC or RP/SRC fees are only allowed at the BI main office and authorized sub-port offices.

“We will continue to find ways to ease the burden of foreign nationals during this pandemic, while ensuring that said aliens are still in compliance with immigration laws,” said Morente.

Travel Advisory #183

Update on Transfer of PAL Los Angeles flights to new LAX midfield gates

The transfer of our flights to the Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) commenced last June 17, 2021.

We continue to appeal to the forced transfer of our flights on behalf of our customers, in particular the Filipino-American community and other Filipinos in Southern California, and we are still in continuing discussions with the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) authority to secure a reversal of LAWA's decision. We will advise if there are any changes.

In the meantime, we ask for your patience and understanding because the MSC gates are in a separate concourse that is linked to the LAX Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) by an underground pedestrian tunnel: Please note the following:

- Additional Walk Time to and from Aircraft Gates: Please allot approximately 20 minutes additional time to walk to your departure gates at the MSC. From the TBIT main concourse, after clearing security, passengers will need to access the tunnel walkway via escalators, elevators and moving walkways.

- Alternative transportation: There will be terminal transfer vehicles (similar to golf carts) available for passengers who are unable to walk the full distance; accessible via elevators and escalators from the TBIT main concourse. Please allot extra time in case of limited availability of these transfer vehicles. Passengers using wheelchairs will also need to take the elevators.

- Limited shops and services: Please note there are limited shops and food service facilities at the MSC; please plan on completing your shopping and dining needs at the TBIT main concourse pre-departure area, before proceeding to the MSC for boarding.

- No Change in Check-in or Arrivals location: All departing PAL passengers will check in at the TBIT, and all arriving PAL passengers will claim baggage and clear immigrations and customs at the TBIT, in the same areas in use today.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that the Airport’s decision may cause you. In our appeal with the airport authority and with city officials, we have raised the important consideration that a large number of our Filipino-American and visiting Filipino travelers are senior citizens or persons with disability who would be better served if the boarding gates are located closer to the check-in and security areas.

We will update you if there are any new developments.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

PRESS RELEASE

Travel ban in 7 countries extended, tourists still not allowed in PH –BI

MANILA, Philippines — Bureau of Immigration (BI) Commissioner Jaime Morente announced that the agency will be implementing the extended travel ban on travelers coming from 7 countries due to emerging Covid-19 variants.

In an advisory, the BI stated that passengers coming from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Oman and UAE are still not allowed to enter until June 15, following the pronouncement of the Palace.

“Those who have a travel history from said countries within the last 14 days from the date of their arrival in the Philippines, will also be prohibited from entering the country,” said Morente. “However, those who will only be transiting in the region—meaning they will not exit the airport and will not be cleared by immigration authorities there, and will only be landing for a layover, may be allowed to enter the Philippines,” he added.

BI Port Operations Division (POD) Chief Atty. Carlos Capulong reiterated that foreign nationals entering the country for tourism purposes are still not allowed.

“Only Filipinos, Balikbayans, and foreign nationals with valid and existing visas who are not coming from the 7 restricted countries may be allowed to enter the Philippines,” said Capulong. “Those who will be entering under a 9(a) Temporary Visitors’ Visa or a Special Resident Retirees Visa would need to present an entry exemption document to be allowed to enter,” he added.

Morente said that with the aggressive vaccination drive of the government, he is hopeful that travel restrictions will ease in the latter part of the year.

FLYING SAFELY IN THE ‘NEW NORMAL’

PAL is strictly implementing Fly Safe “new normal” practices to protect our passengers, in compliance with international health and safety protocols.
Please bring your own face masks and face shields and wear them at all times – at the airport and throughout your flight. 

We encourage you to check-in online and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures– at least 3 hours prior to departure for domestic flights; and 4 hours prior to departure for international flights.

Our cabin crew would have undergone medical evaluation prior to their duty, and will be wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for your protection on board the flight. A modified meal and snack service will be offered on board, using sealed packaging instead of traditional meals.

Don’t worry about the cabin air --- all PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin (cabin air is replaced every 2 to 3 minutes), as well as HEPA filters that trap viruses, bacteria and other contaminants with 99.99% efficiency. The onboard air creates a cleaner environment that is safer than most enclosed public spaces and comparable to hospital operating rooms.
For more information, please see here: https://bit.ly/PALKeepsYouSafe

TRAZE CONTACT TRACING APP REQUIREMENT
All passengers flying to, from, or within the Philippines must download and register through Traze Contact Tracing, a unified and automated contact tracing app, before proceeding to the airport. This is a requirement of Philippine Government authorities for ALL international and domestic passengers, whether arriving in or departing from any airport in the Philippines, to enable health authorities to notify travelers who may have had contact with a COVID-19 patient.

Passenger who do not have mobile phones or any other mobile gadgets may go to the Traze Helpdesk, located near the terminal entrance in all Philippine airports and at the arrival area of international airports, for registration assistance and QR code printing. Passengers traveling to the Philippines from overseas countries are advised to download the app before they embark on their trip.



SPECIAL REMINDER TO CHECK ON UPDATES:
This is a developing situation, and it is quite possible that our plans and schedules may change in response to evolving travel restrictions and quarantine limitations at arrival airports. Kindly check our website www.philippineairlines.com, or follow our social media accounts, so that you'll be updated the moment we release advisories on new developments.


OUR THANKS AND APPRECIATION
Thank you for your understanding and support. Your health and safety will always be our top concern, and we wish you safe travels.

The Department of Tourism has recommended the lifting of restrictions for inbound foreign nationals by putting up a green lane for tourists who have completed their vaccine doses.

Travel Advisory #178

ALERT: Transfer of PAL Los Angeles flights to new LAX midfield gates from June 15 [UPDATE]



Effective June 1, 2021 *, PAL will be forced, over our protest, to move our flights departing and arriving at Los Angeles to the new Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
[ * UPDATE: -- The Los Angeles airport authority advised us that the transfer date is moved to June 15, 2021]


The MSC gates are in a separate concourse that is connected to the main TBIT area by an underground tunnel. We ask for your patience and understanding and alert you on the following:

• Additional Walk Time to and from Aircraft Gates: Please allot approximately 20 minutes additional time to walk to your departure gates at the MSC. From the TBIT main concourse, after clearing security, passengers will need to access the tunnel walkway via escalators, elevators and moving walkways.

• Alternative transportation: There will be terminal transfer vehicles (similar to golf carts) available for passengers who are unable to walk the full distance; accessible via elevators and escalators from the TBIT main concourse. Please allot extra time in case of limited availability of these transfer vehicles. Passengers using wheelchairs will also need to take the elevators.

• Limited shops and services: Please note there are limited shops and food service facilities at the MSC; please plan on completing your shopping and dining needs at the TBIT main concourse pre-departure area, before proceeding to the MSC for boarding.

• No Change in Check-in or Arrivals location: All departing PAL passengers will check in at the TBIT, and all arriving PAL passengers will claim baggage and clear immigrations and customs at the TBIT, in the same areas in use today.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that the Airport’s decision may cause you. PAL has appealed urgently to the airport authority to reconsider the decision to move PAL flights from the TBIT to the MSC; PAL also is seeking assistance from city officials. We have raised the important consideration that a large number of our Filipino-American and visiting Filipino travelers are senior citizens or persons with disability who would be better served if the boarding gates are located closer to the check-in and security areas. We will continue to pursue all available remedies in the hope that our flights will be retained at the original gates of the main TBIT concourse for the well-being and convenience of our valued passengers.

We will update you if there are any new developments as our dialogue with the authorities continues.


Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Travel Advisory #172

WARNING VS. TRAVELING WITH FAKE COVID TESTS

We wish to alert the public to secure authentic COVID-19 test results only from legitimate medical providers.

Safe travel is always the paramount concern, and airlines and authorities are vigilant in not accepting travelers holding fake RT-PCR or Antigen test results, for everybody's protection.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) was recently able to prevent boarding of at least 15 individuals for presenting fraudulent COVID-19 test results at airport check-in counters, as part of our contribution to our nation’s all-out efforts to stop the spread of the disease in all areas of the Philippines.

The prospective passengers who were caught in Manila had been bound for destinations such as Cotabato, Dipolog and Zamboanga; and have been turned over to the Philippine National Police. Most were referred for inquest at the city prosecutor's office, while others have been isolated at quarantine facilities pending their real swab test results.

The police said they will be charged with falsification of public documents and violation of RA 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act. If found guilty, they may each face penalties of up to ₱50,000 or imprisonment for one to six months.

We reaffirm our commitment to work with government authorities in the fight against COVID-19, for the sake of safe air travel and a healthier Philippines.

Thank you.

The PAL testing center provides drive-thru or walk-in testing from 8AM to 8PM daily at PAL Learning Center and 12NN to 8AM the next day for PAL Gate 3 (except for Mondays, operations start at 8PM).

Flying Safely in the ‘New Normal’
PAL is strictly implementing Fly Safe “new normal” practices to protect our passengers, in compliance with international health and safety protocols.
Please bring your own face masks and face shields and wear them at all times – at the airport and throughout your flight.
We encourage you to check-in online and arrive early at the airport to allocate extra time for new safety procedures– at least 3 hours prior to departure for domestic flights; and 4 hours prior to departure for international flights.
Our cabin crew would have undergone medical evaluation prior to their duty, and will be wearing full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for your protection on board the flight. A modified meal and snack service will be offered on board, using sealed packaging instead of traditional meals.
Don’t worry about the cabin air --- all PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin (cabin air is replaced every 2 to 3 minutes), as well as HEPA filters that trap viruses, bacteria and other contaminants with 99.99% efficiency. The onboard air creates a cleaner environment that is safer than most enclosed public spaces and comparable to hospital operating rooms.

This is a developing situation, and it is quite possible that our plans and schedules may change in response to evolving travel restrictions and quarantine limitations at arrival airports. Kindly check our website www.philippineairlines.com, or follow our social media accounts, so that you'll be updated the moment we release advisories on new developments.
