gbmmbg Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 File this under more COVID fun. We bought tickets from Los Angeles to Cebu via Manila. I asked 4 times what do we do in Manila? Each time i was told. Get a room take the COVID test and fly to cebu when you get the results. Well it sounds easy right? Well we take the test, check into the hotel and wait. 12 hours later we get the results and i call my airline to rebook the flight to cebu. The young lady was very nice on the phone but said there would be a 950 usd rebooking fee. Wth. I had to take a trip out to the airport to fix that problem. Ok thats fixed. Then the nice young man who fixed the ticket issue informed me that we need permission to fly to cebu. I asked "why, you made us stop in manila to get the COVID test"? Our house is 10 minutes from the airport in cebu. Sorry sir but to travel from Manila to Cebu you have to get permission. Well we are working on that now. Will let you all know how it works out. Just a warning if you are trying to get to Cebu do not fly through Manila. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebie Posted November 23, 2020 Posted November 23, 2020 As far as I know ( im in Manila ) you need a medical certificate and then you need police clearance. Depending on where you are the fastest police clearance that I know of is in the police station in Makati which is next to Fire station on Ayala Avenue. Police clearance to travel there takes 2-3 days. Not sure if this helps but Im just arranged for my live in to fly to Leyte and those were the current requirements. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in Makati right now and will use them if we have to. We were told by the PNP at the airport office to get our ticket to cebu and they will give us police clearance to fly. But that was yesterday.......so we will see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
