Looks like Singapore is open with a cheap round trip so in order to not pay (and jump through multiple hoops) the extend tax bah.... found insurance online through AXA Philippines online for 1k peso so will get covid test Fri at Polymedic (unless you know of one cheaper) and fly out Sat 945am arriving back in Dumaguete Sunday morning at 910 am... Flight details are Cebu Air all the way to and fro for 15k plus all in Then I can get my 13a at my convenience after putting it off for years LOL
15k is cheap, I was looking at Bangkok - Manila - Duma yesterday, one way was 15k with Cebu Pacific. I have been emailing the embassy in Australia the last few weeks about 13a they told me it is not available at the moment. How are you doing it? Or maybe they are wrong, not the first time.
