From Rappler - relaxed travel requiriements for vaccinated individuals

All of a sudden, travel rules have been relaxed:  More leeway is given to fully vaccinated adults

Travelers, tourists, bikers be wary of requirements for travel to restricted areas

It is more fun criticizing

It is very expensive because you are required to submit an RT PCR tests taken within the last 24 hours if you are not vaccinated   And take note, you can not go on a home stay, because DOT required a hotel booking one  week before (how can you do that if you are not sure of an RT PCR test results

Beware of the siren song of ads, and travel agency pitch because you may be in for a big surprise.   Wait for the restricted classification to be removed. 

The website post regarding a travel destination projects an atmosphere of relaxed requirements:

    1.  Spass

    2.  RT pcr not required, the LGU may provide the free antigen tests

    

But on the ground:

   1.  Spass required with RT pcr for the last 24 hours (P3,500 worth)

   2.  Confirmed hotel bookings

   

    Thus the tourists were turned back after travelling 50 km.  Had the checkpoint installed 50 km away, no wastage and no anger and  frustration would have been built up.  And better still.  the hotel bookings should have been mentioned in the tourist destination webiste.  

Stay safe, stay at home.   (We found it the hard way)  Dont waste your time and money

Dont believe the post  because the men on the ground have other ideas.
