THEY’RE back. At least 189 Chinese passengers from Xiamen and 15 flight crew were welcomed upon arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 on Tuesday by Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian and Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Cesar Chiong.
The Chinese visitors arrived at NAIA terminal 1 around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday on board Xiamen Air flight MH819 and presented an e-travel pass, passport with acquired visa and return ticket to quarantine and immigration officers on duty at the counters. Recently, the Department of Health directed air and maritime travel authorities to conduct a thorough review of health declaration forms submitted by passengers from China. Symptomatic passengers intercepted upon arrival and reports on Covid-positive passengers in ports of entry should be reported to the DOH.
DOH said there is no need yet to shut the country’s border or impose tighter Covid restrictions on inbound Chinese travelers.
