1. An original copy of the vaccination card with certification duly issued by the local vaccination center or Vaccination Certificate from the DICT.
2.

1. The traveler shall INFORM through various means of communication such as text, call, electronic mail and messenger, etc., the LGU of final destination of his or her travel.
2. The traveler shall submit all the travel requirements to the authorities manning the border.

Section 5. Round the clock Emergency Operation Center (EOC). All cities, municipalities, and barangays are hereby directed to establish and maintain a 24/7 Emergency Operation Center.

5.1 The EOCs shall maintain a linkage with the different Border Control Points (BCPs) for better coordination and interoperability in the handling and management of travelers;

5.2 The EOCs shall immediately forward the incoming traveler’s personal information to the barangays through the BHERTS’s hotlines;

5.3 The BHERTS shall monitor and conduct health assessment on the traveler upon arrival in the barangay;

      You are still entering Negros Oriental.
      However, you can still ask the Tourism Office and LGU office for further assistance.

      Really ??? This is your way of asking for information? … actually not asking, but demanding.
      Our advice: get a dog, because you can demand tricks from it in that tune, not from humans, if you like information.
      Our next advice: Use the search function.
      Third advice: learn to read. your question has been answered on this comment-section multiple times.
      Good luck and stay safe!

      We are not any government office of Bacolod, and could not give you the requirements. However, for the safety of everyone…we encourage you to STAY AT HOME! Unless your reason for travel is related to the government or medical, please remain at home and practice minimum health protocols.

    Hello,

    I am from Negros Occidental, going to Cebu. However I will be travelling by land, since the port going to Cebu is in Dumaguete, do i still need to have antigen testing?
    Cebu is only needing medical certificate from the place of origin.

    Good Day,
    Can you please let me know requirements to fly to Dumaguete city after international travel from Canada? We are fully vaccinated in Alberta. We will quarantine in Manila for 5 days and assuming a negative COViD test we want to travel to Dumaguete to complete the remainder of our quarantine at home in Palinpinon. Can you please let us know requirements to fly from Manila to Dumaguete. Two kids under 11 are not vaccinated.

    Many thanks and take care, Mark

      Good day!
      Please go to the official S-PASS website to see the list of requirements. (https://s-pass.ph/)
      To our knowledge children will still need a negative COVID test result. However, this will depend on the date of your travel as requirements may change bi-weekly. Frequently checking the S-PASS website is recommended.

      Hope this helps.

      Good day!
      Please contact your LGU of destination if they accept vaccination card only. During our recent travel, we were allowed to enter Sibulan Sea Port (from Liloan Port) with just a vaccination card.

      Good luck and stay safe!
