May I ask if this is just a requirement for Filipino citizens? Will we still need this to get into our own country?
I checked for the Netherlands, and no, not a requirement. It may help to shorten mandatory quarantine though. I would imagine that no matter your vaccination status you will always be allowed into your own country. However, there might be problems if you're not on a direct flight. Countries/airports might make specific demands even of transit passengers.
Didn't some Australian citizens find that NOT to be the case? They were barred from returning home whilst seeing sports' people (e.g. tennis) and celebrities allowed entry.
Only thing I can find about that is from an australian government site: "This section has advice for Australians overseas who are trying to return home to Australia. Returning to Australia from overseas is still challenging. There are caps on the numbers of passengers coming into Australian airports from overseas. We are working hard to get as many Australians home as possible. If you're overseas and wish to come home, be prepared for delays and disruptions to your travel." So yes maybe some Aussies got caught up in the delays/disruption and made a fuss about it.
Quite normal in every country one rule for the rich and connected people and another for the other 98% of the population
