When Elmer*, a public health worker, landed in Metro Manila from the United States on October 8, he was all set to quarantine in a facility managed by his local government unit . A stay in an accredited hotel would have been costlier.
Worse, the vaccination card issued by Elmer’s LGU and his VaxCert – a sort of vaccine passport issued by the Philippines’ own Department of Health and Department of Information and Communication Technology and recognized abroad – was not honored by the government’s One Health Pass system. As a health worker, Elmer said he understood the need to observe quarantine. His frustration stemmed from the government’s last-minute changes to quarantine rules, which seemed unclear to officials on the ground in airports.
“What happened to me was really an eye-opener. There are a lot of alternatives, free alternatives for people – why don’t we use that? It’s really frustrating. Like hotels, some say [quarantine] is a way for the hotels to keep their businesses open, but the government should at least subsidize it or give incentives,” he said. “It’s really hard here in the Philippines if you don’t have money.”
Since when it made sense that USA is on yellow list. USA has a high vaccinated counts/person and donated vaccines to Philippines. Its really all about the money that balikabayans will pay the hotel for 7 days quarantine. Talagang ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA NYO IATF!!!
