Bericht über die Ankunft auf den Philippinen aus den USA:
For those abroad, or with relatives abroad, wishing to come to the Philippines; a personal account of someone who just arrived at NAIA from the US:
“It is such a hassle to arrive in the Philippines from abroad.
As soon as plane arrives, we have to wait INSIDE the airplane for a doctor & his staff to check everyone’s temperature and vaccination records. The most STUPID thing is that vaccination from the USA is not considered as grounds for a shorter quarantine of 7 days. Only vaccinations in the Phil can grant you 7 days! I showed the doctor my single Makati Med vaccine shot and 2 Pfizer shots from the US. He has to follow rules daw, even as he understands my position, so, 10 days quarntn! Told him that starting June 16, supposedly vaccinations from abroad would merit 7 days quarntine only. Finally, he gave me 2 email addresses where i can appeal our case for shorter quarantn!
Then, we had to go down and be ushered to the airport room where THEY MADE SURE that we PRE-PAY the SWAB test to be conducted on the 7th day!
The clear money maker is that WE PAY this DETOXICARE company na never-heard! We found out that Detoxicare contracts out the job: for example, one of them is Mkti Med! They are Agents only! Ay naku!
Since we are on quarantine, we cannot take outside transpo... so, we asked a hotel for a Sedan or equiv transpo, the cheapest of which cost P2200. A van costs 3500. They contracted ALL TRANSFERS to an outside company or companies... not from d hotel! Our pick up was done by a company owned by a certain Cecilia Castañeda. Maybe crony ni Dut or his cohorts. Pangwarta na naman! They think siguro that we are all so stupid... I don’t know exactly what... but THEY ARE STUPID to think that way!
Imagine, how sad for those who can hardly afford, even as there are cheap accredited hotels... and imagine how long it would take for all 350 passengers to already prepay the SWAB for the 7th day! Kawawa ang mga nasa likod ng plane…Test is 4000per person but we get senior dsct...we paid 3200 each. Good lang that we were one of the first to get out of plane, and our luggage was picked up already, courtesy of a high-level PAL friend. The others would have to wait for their luggage after lining up to prepay!
Grabe! Many complaints heard...the corruption continues!
Kann das jemand bestätigen? Falls es im wesentlichen richtig ist, sehen mich die PH nicht, solange dieser Blödsinn beibehalten wird. Dazu kommen noch die hohen Flugpreise im Augenblick.
Auch andere Länder sind schöne Urlaubsziele.
