Latest vaccination requirements in the Philippines

[EdC]

Does anyone have current experience entering the Philippines from the US? I am scheduled to be there 11/12 and up until today the dive trip leader was saying initial vaccination was sufficient. He has just received word that there is a requirement for at least one booster now, is this the current situation? I find conflicting information online.

If you don’t have a booster you will need a PCR test dated within 48 hours of your departure to enter the country. If you have at least one booster you do not need the PCR test.

I had a group of 12 with me that entered the country on 10/18 with no issues.

It is amazing all of the conflicting information that is out there or misinformation that is being spread around as it is all in black and white - with a simple google search. Nothing has changed since May. 2022."WITH THE EXCEPTION" that just within the last few days the "One Health Pass" as been changed to the "eArrival Card". However..basically close to the same thing. Here is the link for that:

It is very easy to visit the Philippines and go diving. Hope you can make it to Subic Bay for some wreck diving! The monsoon season is over, the winds have shifted and the dry weather is upon us until June of next year.

One completed primary course(1 or 2 shots depend on the kind of vaccine used)+ 1 booster is the best option.

Vaccinations no longer required. But if unvaccinated you must test within 24 hours of departure on your way to Philippines, as explained below. And that's the final, no b.s. answer.

No excuse not to visit the country.
US$ is nearly at all time high.
US$1.00 = P58.3

When I left Taiwan for Manila on 22 October I was required to have completed the one health pass on my phone before my boarding pass was issued. I was also asked for my vaccine certificate. On arrival in Manila the QR code of my one health pass had to be scanned in. Flying from Manila to Panglao Bohol no pass or vaccination certificate is required but masks are required in the airport. So do bring some.

Flying back home to Taiwan from Manila tomorrow morning.
