It’s been more than a year since we observed strict community quarantine in different areas in our country. We were not allowed to travel outside our area unless we were APORs or frontliners. Now, as the restrictions are changed to granular lockdowns and some members of the population have already completed their vaccination against COVID-19, traveling around the country for leisure is again allowed.
In fact, some LGUs have already lifted the swab test requirements in visiting their region. As long as you are fully vaccinated, it is now possible for you to travel again around the Philippines with minimum requirements. Some even don’t have any prerequisites for you to visit their area!
For your squad travel goals to be achieved, here are the following travel destinations or LGUs that don’t longer require swab tests when visiting their region as of November 19, 2021, according to Cebu Pacific:
