Cebu Pacific resumed passenger flights from Manila to Siargao and Bohol, after the local governments of the two areas lifted travel restrictions.
CEB flew its first Manila-Siargao flight on Sept. 1 and intends to increase flights from thrice weekly to five times weekly beginning Sept. 8 (every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday). Its Manila to Bohol flight took off Sept. 2 and will operate on a daily basis this month.
“The situation is still very fluid, yet we know there is a need for flights to cater to essential travel. We continue to prioritize everyjuan’s health and safety as we gradually rebuild our network and we look forward to adding more flights as demand increases,” said Xander Lao, chief commercial officer of Cebu Pacific.
Passengers bound for Bohol should present a negative RT-PCR test result conducted within 72 hours before departure, along with an approved travel coordination permit from S-Pass. All arriving passengers are required to undergo quarantine for five days in a public or private facility that is accredited by the local government. On the fifth day, passengers will again take the RT-PCR test.
