The Philippine government has lifted a ban on travellers from more than 30 countries, including the UAE.

Filipino citizens and foreign nationals will be allowed to enter the country, subject to conditions.

Passengers flying to the Philippines are required to undergo PCR testing on their sixth day of quarantine from the date of arrival.

Foreign nationals will also need to show proof of a pre-booked accommodation for at least seven nights in an accredited quarantine hotel or facility.

Cebu Pacific will continue to operate its domestic and international flights as scheduled, but travellers are advised to check the website for updates.
