Chinese tourists in Boracay: They traveled before ban or from countries with no ban, say execs

But she said these are bringing in Filipinos and foreign nationals holding permanent residence visas.

The continued entry of Chinese tourists into Boracay after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered travel restrictions has raised questions and concern from residents. The Bureau of Immigration said the Chinese tourists could have come from countries not covered by travel bans. “There were no reports of Chinese nationals entering through the Kalibo International Airport, Iloilo Airport and also the shipping ports,” said Dana Sandoval, BI spokesperson. “Most probably, these Chinese nationals arrived before the ban was implemented on Sunday,” Sandoval said.

She said airlines servicing routes between the Philippines and China and its two special administrative regions have canceled their flights.Sandoval said Chinese nationals arriving from port of origins that are not covered by the travel ban, like Japan, are allowed entry into the Philippines.“If you are, for example, an American and you came from Hong Kong, you will be disallowed,” she said.

Another answer— bribery!

Let us say they arrived before the travel ban, does it mean they're all free from the virus, what a moronic reasoning, besides, what about the 14 day asypmtomatic grace period, may mga nag iisip pa ba sa gobyernong ito?

A loophole in all this madness... and we aren't doing anything about it... tourists/citizens who basically came from or passed through China since December 2019 shouldn't be allowed to roam around the country.. they should be sent home or quarantined until they're clear...

lusot

Wala na! papatayin na talaga ng administrasyong ito ang mga Pilipino.

Wrong dissemination of the travel ban. Immigration officers do not understand the scope of the ban Kaya nangyari Yan.

*nCov outbrake exists* Chinese: Bora tayo guys!

Pera pera pa din!!!!!

Wag kasi mag-panic.

mlq3 Makes sense. There's the Taiwanese. There are people of Chinese descent in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, even Indonesia.
