FactCheck: The quote attributed to Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat in May 2021 was actually said in April 2020. Filipinos are allowed to travel abroad if they complete certain requirements.

Outbound Filipinos must have roundtrip tickets and health and travel insurance if traveling as a tourist, a Bureau of Immigration declaration acknowledging the risks involved in traveling, and a negative COVID-19 test if required by their airline or country of destination. They must also comply with the guidelines of the National Task Force for the Management of Returning Overseas Filipinos upon their return.

According to CrowdTangle data, the post was shared to at least five Facebook groups, some of which identify as groups for overseas Filipino workers or seamen.Keep us aware of suspicious Facebook pages, groups, accounts, websites, articles, or photos in your network by contacting us at factcheck@rappler.com.
