For those planning a trip, here are a few and tips that may help ease your anxiety!

I’m fully vaccinated. But after braving a crowded airport, a fully-booked flight, and a confusing entry process in the Bacolod-Silay airport on Monday, November 15, I miss the old home-quarantine routine we braved as returning residents in July this year.

One reason for the slow check-in process: Some people’s S-Passes were still pending by the time of check-in because of slow clearance by LGUs. At Gate 17, where passengers for Bacolod and two other cities waited, a line of people sat on the floor with their backs to the wall, not a usual Terminal 2 scene. Some knelt or sat in front of their seated companions.

There were two lines in the Bacolod area. I was waved to a shorter line. Maybe it was my salt and pepper hair but nobody asked, and there were also other younger folk in our line. I had held up my vaccination card to the person at the entrance of our hall, but nobody really checked it.
