NO MORE COVID PRE-DEPARTURE TEST FOR FULLY VACCINATED, BOOSTERED TOURISTS TRAVELING TO THE PHILIPPINES *

Effective: May 30, 2022

MANILA -- The Philippine government will no longer require a pre-departure COVID-19 test for incoming fully vaccinated passengers as part of its measures to revive the pandemic-hit economy starting May 30, 2022.

Following the recommendations made by the Department of Tourism (DOT) as a means to further ease the travel requirements and encourage more tourists to visit the country, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) approved Resolution 168 exempting all fully vaccinated and boostered foreign nationals from the RT-PCR test requirement. Based on the resolution, the visitor must be at least 18 years old and must have received the primary series of Covid-19 vaccines and at least one booster shot.

Also exempted from the pre-departure RT-PCR requirement are foreign nationals aged 12 to 17 who have received their primary Covid-19 vaccine/s; and those aged below 12 and traveling with fully vaccinated or boostered parents or guardians.

The same exemption guidelines apply to Filipinos travelling to the Philippines.

9 Secrets that Will Help Make Air Travel a Little Less Stressful!

If you’ve done any traveling at all, you know full well that stress can be an ever-present reality in spite of all of the planning that goes into your trip.

And of course, after all the preparation comes departure day and the rush to get out of the house in order to make it to the airport in plenty of time so as not to miss your flight.

Can all this create stress?

You bet it can and does, but the good news is, there are ways to reduce and even avoid fun-killing stress when preparing for, and while traveling.

By implementing the following tips you can wave goodbye to a lot of tension and replace it with a sense of relaxation before, and after the start of your journey.

Before global pandemics and the lengthy health and security protocols that now exist in airports the world over, if you are like most others…

The very thought of being at the airport and boarding a plane destined to take you far and wide generated a mountain of excitement and endless smiles.

In fact, walking around an airport taking in all the hustle, bustle and anticipation was almost as exciting as the trip itself.

However, when you fast forward to today, the whole flying experience can be frustrating and emotionally draining, especially if you are not fully prepared.

Find out here what you can do to reduce the aggravation and replace it with peaceful thoughts and feelings of relaxation.

1. Get to the airport early.

Arriving at the last minute most often generates waves of mega stress. By getting to the airport with time to spare will eliminate the feelings of negativity and irritability. At the end of the day, it’s not an ideal way to begin your trip.

Best to not take any risk. Arrive early, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

2. Use Valet Parking Service

ParknFly is a wonderful and very convenient service, but did you know that for only a few dollars more (online only) you can upgrade to valet parking?

Valet parking gets priority and there are more shuttles from the lot to the airport customers who use this service. Most times you will never have to wait more than eight minutes for a shuttle.

When you’re about to fly home, give them a call from the airport and they’ll have your car warmed up, and waiting for you when you arrive back.

If that wasn’t enough, when you book online you can get discounts for long-term parking.

3. Check-In Online

Instead of waiting until you arrive at the airport, check-in online. This will save you a lot of time by not having to stand in line to check-in at the airport.

4. Carry On Only

Travel light if at all possible and carry-on your bags.

A majority of hotels supply you with shampoo, conditioner as well as soap, and even small tubes of toothpaste. Besides, you can also buy what you need at the gift shop.

5. Packing Your Bags

Think about what you can and can’t bring on the plane with you. The rule to follow is… If you aren’t sure, don’t bring it.

Bear in mind that if you bring any sharp objects, liquids larger than 100ml, or aerosol cans they will be taken away and tossed in the trash by security.

6. Security

When you get to security, have everything you need to show in a plastic bag.

Also, store your computer in a separate canvas shopping bag. This will make it easier for you when going through security and will reduce the weight of your carry-ons.

**NOTE: Beware. Make sure your cell phone, computer, and or iPad are fully charged in the event security asks you to turn them on. If you can’t turn them on, they may not be allowed to come with you.

7. Load Videos, Books, or Music onto Your Phone or IPad

You should never count on the entertainment system working on your flight, therefore it’s a good idea to have your movies, music, and books preloaded on your iPad or phone.

8. Don’t Forget Snacks

Airlines are cutting down on giving passengers complimentary food and drink, so it’s best you bring your own goodies.

This is also a good idea if you have young kids traveling with you.

Children can get grumpy and winey, especially if they’re hungry and tired. By giving them a favorite treat, you can quickly make them content and relaxed.

9. Cash is King

When you arrive at your destination make your way to the nearest airport ATM and get a couple hundred dollars (or whatever the local currency is) in cash.

Trust me, doing this will make your travels much easier.

When it’s all said and done...

As most seasoned travelers will tell you, do yourself a favor by taking the time you need so you don’t feel pressure at the airport.

Terminals today are getting better with most offering free Wi-Fi, lounge access, and even massages.

So start your vacation off on the right foot by making your time at the airport fun and a stress-free part of your trip.

Until next time, stay safe and have fun.

FYI BYAHEROS!✈️
The local government of Aklan province announced on Wednesday that RT-PCR tests will be required again for travelers starting January 9, 2022.

Under Executive Order No. 001 Series of 2022, all travelers bound for Boracay and other areas in Aklan province, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to present a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 72 hours before flight departure.

Can You Guess Which Countries are Most Friendly to (Foreigners) Expats?

In a recent survey, participants were asked a series of questions in order to find out which countries are the friendliest to foreigners.

You may be surprised what the findings revealed.

So, if you’re thinking of settling down in another country you’ll find the answers in this study helpful, and maybe a little surprising.

Can you guess which countries are the most friendly according to the findings in this study?

Read on and you'll discover which ones made the top 10 list…

Number #10:
CANADA

Fondly referred to among North Americans as “The Great White North” Canada has always been known to be a very friendly country to expats. A whopping 82% indicated that Canada is indeed one of the friendliest countries in the world.

Number # 9:
VIETNAM

Sitting in the ninth spot is the Southeast Asian country of Vietnam. Since being unified back in 1975 this nation has gone on to become one regarded by foreigners as warm, friendly, and welcoming. The poll showed that 83 percent of respondents voted favorably for this land and its ancient people and culture.

Number # 8:
COLUMBIA

Coming in at number eight is Colombia. Among those surveyed, 87 percent describe this country as friendly as well as warm and welcoming to foreigners. There was also plenty of thumbs up concerning the food, the weather, and the general attitude amongst the native population towards Expats.

Number # 7:
OMAN

The Middle Eastern country of Oman climbed to 7th place on our poll of which countries are most friendly to expats, i.e. foreigners.
83 percent of those surveyed indicated that generally speaking, people in this nation are friendly to foreigners with a further 86 percent stating the locals are respectful to visitors.

When you factor in culture, food, and overall friendliness Oman is one of the most expat-friendly countries.

Number # 6:
COSTA RICA

During the survey, it became clear that 31 percent of expats spoken to intentionally traveled to Costa Rica in order to improve the quality of their life. If that doesn’t make you all warm and fuzzy, foreigners were also quick to point out that locals welcomed them with open arms.

A whopping 87 percent also said making friends with the native Costa Rican locals was easy. A further 90 percent of respondents indicated they are satisfied with the life they have in Costa Rica.

This last figure is quite startling considering the fact the global average is 29 percent.

Number # 5:
BAHRAIN

Squeezing in at number five is yet one more surprising Middle Eastern country. According to our Expat survey, Bahrain is considered the best overall destination for expats in the Middle East.

Another pleasant surprise is that this is the first year Bahrain made it into the top ten list of welcoming countries for foreigners. A further 86 percent of respondents said the locals overwhelmingly were friendly to foreign residents while 85 percent are satisfied with their life in the country.

It’s also noteworthy that 91 percent stated traveling around the country is not difficult.

Number # 4:
CAMBODIA

The following ancient land in Southeast Asia has not only been resurrected but today is thriving and did not make our list until 2017. However, Cambodia now occupies 4th place due to its overall friendliness and welcoming spirit felt by foreigners who visit and take up residence there.

A full 96 percent of the expats give this country a thumbs up. This is extraordinary considering the global average is 70 percent. Over 85 percent of participating expats stated the locals were friendly and welcoming.

Number # 3:
MEXICO

Mexico recently lost its lofty number #1 spot. However, it’s still one of the top three on our list. Nearly 80 percent of the expats who live and work in Mexico say adapting to the culture and benefiting from what the county has to offer is not only attractive but easy.

Another 73 percent of the respondents indicated making friends with the locals is simple and easy to do.

Number # 2:
TAIWAN

Coming in at number two in this year’s Expat survey is Taiwan. This Asian nation is regarded as one of the top destinations for foreigners seeking a friendly and easy place to live and work in.

Expats were virtually unanimous in their opinion that their desire to live here is due to the friendly nature of the people as well as the quality of life.

Number # 1:
Our grand prize winner in this year’s latest poll on which country is the friendliest to foreigners, i.e. Expats is no other than …

PORTUGAL.

Portugal is a sunny European country with a reputation among Expats as a warm and welcoming culture that is available to almost everyone and anyone who visits or takes up residence there.

The survey revealed that 36 percent of foreigners feel at home compared to the global average of 19 percent.

A good number of expats mentioned it was the traditions in the country along with the culture that are the most welcoming. Some even went so far as to state that the people here have a way of looking out for one another.

So there you have it. If you’re someone looking for a place to retire or start a new life, the ten countries listed here in our poll can provide you with a base from which to not only consider but plan your journey around.
