The government will no longer require Filipinos traveling abroad to undertake antigen testing 24 hours before departure, Malacañang announced.

The travelers, however, will still secure a negative diagnostic test if required by the country of destination or the airline based on the latest decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Infectious Diseases .

“Inaprubahan po ng inyong IATF ang pagtanggal o pagbawi sa pre-boarding testing requirement ng outbound Filipino travelers na unang ni-ratify sa IATF Resolution No. 79 na nagre-require ng negative antigen test result 24 oras bago lumipad bilang pre-boarding requirement ,” presidential spokesman Harry Roque said over state television Friday.

In lieu of government requirement for antigen testing, the task force ruled that a negative COVID-19 test will be taken by outbound Filipino travelers “whenever required by the country of destination or the airline.” The COVID test must be done in accordance with the health and safety protocols of the destination country or the airline, the IATF added.
