Seems Philippines is no closer to opening. This recent typhoon is now be sprouted as a reason to avoid opening. As of yesterday I was advised by Philippines immigration
"Please be informed that, in light of the Declaration of State of Calamity and of a State of Public Health Emergency, entry restrictions on all foreigners are still in place. All visa-free privileges are suspended. Only foreign spouses and children of Filipino nationals (with documentary proof of filiation) are exempted from the temporary restriction. Please defer non-essential travel to the Philippines."
entry might be possible if you can have a business reason to travel but requires a visa application not just the type we get when we land and get let in.
