Thank you, Paul! Nakakaexcite umuwi ng Pinas. I'm also fully vaccinated na. Very informative!.

haha I appreciate that! surely you'll also like my second vlog, I made it fun. yeah, so I've heard. maybe months from now (since they're slow), they'll release a new protocol for those who are fully vaccinated. Stay safe! :)

[@federicoeveza9656]

Hows your stay in the hotel? Actually just came back here in New York last September 25,2020. Good luck

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi! It's a really nice room po with city view, great food and it's really spacious. :)

[@jomaiireyes3887]

hello there i watched all of your videos and thank you for sharing all the information to us.. ilang days kang ngstay sa hotel??is still 10days pa din??

[@PaulVirtucioo]

you’re welcome po. just 7 days lang po since I arrived on may 7. they implemented the new protocol po kasi for travelers who will arrive on may 8 onwards 😊

[@neilignacio1302]

Did the hotel provide the coffee maker? :)

[@ferreguillemijares2465]

Hello po! So they do the swab testing pala sa hotel where you’re staying? Hehe akala ko kasi this whole time that they will send their swab testing location through email and i’ll have to take the taxi to wherever it is. Which I was nervous about if i’ll get lost haha 😅

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Haha yes, it’s done at your hotel room since you’re not allowed to even go beyond the doorstep of your room.

[@jadel7261]

Hi! I’m a new subscriber! Hoping that you could answer my question. Its my 6th day at the hotel now and already got my negative result. Im schedule to leave the hotel tom, my 7th day. Question is when i get home, yung LGU po ba bibisita sa akin to check up on me for the completion of the remaining home quarantine?? Just really curious. Thank you very much!

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi! really depends on the lgu. pero most naman don't even check, up to you na to follow the remaining home quarantine pero I think as long as negative naman na okay na. stay safe always! :)

[@rogrosal9367]

Tnx, Paul! Happy 4u, finally u got ur BOQ Cert and get to go home. Btw, taga-saan ka, kelangan p ba talagang mag-quarantine s LGU mo, home quarantine lang ba, how many days? Tnk u din at nakita nmin mga food na sinerved nila sayo... You know what, EVA Air cancelled our flight to Manila supposedly on the 23rd and gave us our money back. Taiwan suspended all international transit services until June18, due to spike in covid cases. Very difficult to find replacement flight sked with other airlines very limited schedule, either fully booked or ridiculous airfare prices. Got one with Cathay Pacific sked on June8th, still pricey but the cheapest one we could find. Take care. We’ll wait for your next vlog esp the one when you get ready for your return flight back to HNL, this time travel requirements to fly back to the states. You have a wonderful day and enjoy ur stay in our beloved motherland. Stay safe, glad to know u are also fully vaccinated like us... Mabuhay!!!

[@PaulVirtucioo]

you're welcome po. hehe yes, really made sure to be fully vaccinated first before I travel to ph. I really appreciate your comment po. stay safe always lalo na po sa flight nyo soon :)

[@aya7068]

Paul!! I just emailed BOQ right now at 8PM and my flight is tomorrow at 11AM. Hopefully I'll get my certificate on time:(

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi aya! wait for a 2 to 3 hours after requesting, then reply to your email with them and ask for an update. you should get it on time. have sa safe flight tom :)

[@logos5338]

Host tips naman about 10 days quarantine and the remaining 4days home quarantine. If possible to complete the 4 days qua to any hotel because i dont have residencial address in manila. Want to stay another 1 week longer in manila but confuse how it works. Pls thanks. New subs po. Regards from 🇳🇴

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi! Thanks. I'm not sure if that's gonna work since you are required to do home quarantine, so a hotel should be a quarantine hotel still if ever. But you may ask your choice of hotel if ever they'll accept you to do your home quarantine with them. If ever, their address is what you'll put on your BOQ certificate. stay safe!

[@mattyager2655]

Very informative. I want to travel to General Santos later this year. Would I have to quarinitine in manila before I could travel to General Santos? I fear I will not be able to go with the current restrictions. I dont have enough vaction time from my job for a 2 week quarantine 😭😭

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Appreciate that, man! sadly, you really have to undergo quarantine first, either in manila or cebu if you wanna go to general santos. Honestly, it’s not worth it if you only have 2 weeks, since that would just be solely used for your quarantine time. unless situation here in ph improves, these protocols are imposed but it is continuously changing from time to time. stay safe!

[@mattyager2655]

@@PaulVirtucioo my thoughts exactly. I'm not gonna go there just to sit in a hotel and come back. And looking more into this i think foreign tourist travel is still a no go

[@kevins.2557]

Hello! Did you need to be quarantined at your LGU destination or you were able to go home straight?

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi! basically you'll have to do your home quarantine at the address that you put on your BOQ certificate.

[@kevins.2557]

@@PaulVirtucioo Hello again, do you know if the hotel accepts non-OWS? And what is their best email contact info? Thanks.

[@charissed176]

Did you schedule your swab test? And how. Thanks!

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi! Since I paid my swab testing with padlab at the airport, they told me the exact date of my swab testing. with red cross, you’ll know it too after paying online I guess. swab testing based on the new protocol now is on the 7th day of your hotel quarantine, so just count from day 1 of arrival and you’ll know when your swab testing schedule is. Basically your ECIF is required for you to have your swab testing schedule. I may have discussed the process on this vlog or on the first vlog.

[@charissed176]

@@PaulVirtucioo thanks!

One more thing hehe. What is pdf file password? Who gives it to you to email to BOQ? Thanks!

[@kluuuuh]

Hi Paul, What's the procedure on going back home? After you're done with the hotel quarantine, how can you go back to your actual address in the Philippines? Thank you so much.

[@PaulVirtucioo]

Hi! you just have to get a grab car or your family can pick you up at the hotel. then just have to finish your home quarantine. some LGU's requires a traveler to be endorsed to them upon arrival at your barangay to make sure you'll finish your home quarantine :)
