    They are mostly starting from 8th June for domestic flights to selected locations.....but I know PAL have the ok to fly Manila to Dumaguete tomorrow June 3rd and also Fri 5th.. as my partner and her son are on it and were checked in this morning with boarding passes.

    You have to have a IATF Travel Authorty (from the local LGU and PNP) which requires approved Medical and Quarantine Certs and the ok from Dumaguete City Tourism Dept/Medical Dept so you are met when the plane lands and taken to an approved prison ,whoops, I mean hotel for 14 days quarantine.

    Travel for leisure purposes is not allowed yet.

    Never count your chickens until they're hatched..... PAL has cancelled June 3rd Dumaguete flight until the 8th... after issuing boarding passes this morning.

    I think the IATF nobbled them

    We would like to inform you that there are changes to your upcoming flight from Manila (MNL) - Dumaguete (DGT) due to adjustments in our flight operations.

    I'm thinking that after quadrupling the number of positive cases in a few days, maybe the resumption of flights to and from Manila or Cebu might get a second thought.

    Wonderful how they handled that lot from the infected fishing vessel. One step forward, not sure how many steps back yet.

    June 3rd: "DUMAGUETE CITY – Twelve locally stranded individuals (LSIs) arrived in Negros Oriental from Aklan on Wednesday aboard the fishing boat FBCA Teresita.

    The LSIs disembarked at a port in Tanjay City ....

    Representatives from the local government units (LGUs) .... were on hand to receive their returning residents and bring them to their respective patient care centers for the mandatory quarantine....

    Dr. Espos said the LSIs went through safety and health protocols such as disinfecting, however, no throat swab tests were done because they are LSIs. (PNA)"

    I think Aklan was recently a centre of infections in Panay. So I am not sure why no throat swabs were done.

    Read a press release from our DOH today that stated, the newly positive are 'now' in quarantine facilities. They were not in government facilities before.

    Aklan is not in Pasay it is on the Island of Panay.

    As I am on Panay, you would think I would know that. :arghh:

    Typo? Idiot? ('Agree' allowed!)
