how about kung bohol resident returnee klang how would ur requirements be different to the visitor requirements.

All ur saying is for visitation and tourist. You guys don’t include the native or the bohol resident returnees requirements. This is kind if sad and a piss off. Yung sarili mong bansa mas inu una yung mga taga labas asikasuhin kesa sa taga loob o sariling kababayan na naninirahan mismo sa kanilang lugar.

We Filipinos do really take into heart the word “hospitality” by heart. Even if it means forgetting ur own family and country men.

correct…kita nuon tagabohol dili basta2x makasulod sa bohol unya ang mga dili taga bohol makalaag laag ra diha..Asa ang justice ani.

What to expect from the 'new normal' travel in Bohol

Kara santos.

Posted at Dec 12 2020 12:24 PM

PANGLAO, Bohol -- The island province of Bohol is gearing up to finally welcome leisure tourists starting December 15, 2020 including those from areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) areas like Metro Manila. 

Bohol Governor Arthur Yap confirmed that they will be accepting frequent independent travelers of all ages, including senior citizens and minors, in a bid to jumpstart the local economy.

Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat welcomed the development of easing age restrictions for travel, saying that Christmas is just around the corner and that Filipinos really travel together as a family. 

Tour operators and members of the media got to experience first-hand the steps the provincial government of Bohol is taking to fight COVID-19 while cautiously reopening the island to tourists. 

If you’re thinking of going to Bohol soon, here’s what you need to know.

 The requirements

Like other destinations that have reopened to leisure tourists, Bohol requires a negative RT-PCR result taken 72 hours before departure, confirmed hotel booking, pre-booked transport and tours, and pre-registration via tourism.bohol.gov.ph. A five-day stay on the island requires no quarantine.

The high cost of the RT-PCR tests has been one of the major deterrents for leisure travel, but is required to curb the spread of COVID-19 and protect the island’s residents. 

The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) is currently finalizing guidelines to provide a 50% subsidy for leisure travelers and tourism frontliners in partnership with the UP Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH), which currently only charges Php 1,800 for a swab test.

• LIST: Hospitals that offer COVID-19 RT-PCR tests for P1,750 to P2,000

 What to expect in the airport

If you don’t have a smartphone yet, you’re going to need one for your future trips because of the apps and online forms needed to travel.

Starting November 28, all passengers need to download and use the Traze contact tracing app , a nationwide and unified app that contains basic profile information of travelers. Those taking flights need to scan QR codes in various points at the airport to check in. Travelers who don’t have smartphones will need to ask help from the assistance desk.

Most airlines are operating at a very limited capacity to key destinations, but when they do, tourists may need to get to the airport earlier than usual to comply with the extra requirements, such as sanitizing of luggage, pre-boarding checks of all the requirements, and extra long lines because of physical distancing requirements. 

 Protocols inside the plane

Because of COVID-19, airlines have increased sanitation and cleaning protocols with deeper and more frequent cleanings. Flight attendants are now dressed in PPE suits with full face masks and face shields.

Airlines are requiring passengers, staff, and crew to wear face masks while on board the plane. Wearing full face shields (half shields are not allowed) inside the airport and airplane is also mandatory.

During our flight to Bohol, we were served single-use mineral water bottles and packed snacks, although it’s up to the passengers if they choose to eat and drink while inside the plane. 

Arrival in Bohol

Flights to Bohol now land at the Bohol-Panglao International Airport on Panglao Island, which has replaced the old Tagbilaran Airport as the province’s main entry point for tourists.

One of the most tiresome things about traveling during the pandemic is constantly having to fill up contact tracing forms everywhere you go. Thankfully, Bohol has found a way to establish a system that does away with that.

Visitors who pre-registered via Bohol's website will have been given a unique QR code that can be saved on a smartphone. Upon our arrival at the airport, we were presented with personalized contact tracing cards that contained that unique QR code. 

The cards were like our visa around the island. We just had to present these for scanning at respective hotels and establishments we visited, so we no longer had to keep filling up forms manually. 

The cards, which bear a picture of a tarsier, also double as a unique souvenir for guests of their “new normal” trip and may be reused for future trips in Bohol.

New normal in hotels

Unlike pre-pandemic travel when you could just travel spontaneously, or choose a hotel to stay in once you get to your destination, tourists now need to pre-book all arrangements including hotels, transportation, and tours to ensure that the establishments are ready to accept guests with the proper health and safety protocols. 

One of the major draws in Bohol is the number of premium luxury resorts where guests can cocoon for the duration of their stay and enjoy private amenities like swimming pools, private beachfronts and open-air garden restaurants.

Hotels and resorts in Bohol have really stepped up their efforts to ensure a safe environment for travelers and used the downtime in travel to establish their own health and safety measures. Temperature checks and QR code scanning are done every time a guest arrives and departs from a hotel. 

Hotel buffet breakfasts have been replaced with plated meals, while tables and chairs have been rearranged to ensure socially distanced dining without the unsightly plastic sheet barriers that have become the norm in many establishments.

Many of the larger hotels and resorts in Panglao island, which previously catered to the premium international tourist market and large events, have reopened but have so far only been allowed to accept residents of Bohol for staycations. 

Many hotels have slashed prices off their regular room rates (some up to 50 percent) and are offering promo rates just to attract tourists once again. So if you think about it, your savings on hotel accommodations could just be channelled for necessary costs like the RT-PCR test. Some hotels have even come up with packages that include the RT-PCR test for guest’s peace of mind. 

Expect hotels in Bohol to be way less crowded. Hotels that used to cater to mainstream Chinese tourists and international travelers, or were fully booked during Christmas season in pre-pandemic years, have barely had any business the past few months, meaning if you choose to travel early on, chances are you will get to enjoy the resort all to yourself.

New rules in tours 

Tourists in Bohol will need to follow a pre-set itinerary, with trips outside the hotel/resort pre-arranged and done only through DOT-accredited travel and tour agencies. Tour operators will be made liable for visitors who deviate from tours. 

Do-it-yourself or DIY tours are currently not allowed to limit contact with locals and control the movement of tourists. For instance, the hotel we stayed in used to offer bicycles that guests could use for free to go around to nearby sights on their own during pre-pandemic travels. Upon inquiry, the front desk staff said they had to suspend operations to prevent tourists from roaming around on their own to comply with the new guidelines.

While this may put a damper on plans of adventure travelers who prefer to explore on their own, the pre-booked transportation and tour arrangements will work well for families, colleagues, and groups traveling together who want a hassle-free way to go sightseeing around the island.

Many of the tours that Bohol is known for have found ways to adapt to the new normal. It helps that most of Bohol’s attractions are nature-based outdoor activities, which are safer. 

All island-hopping and snorkeling activities will now depart from a centralized jetty port in Panglao and can no longer be offered directly from different beach resorts around the island. The “one entry, one exit” island-hopping policy will help control and monitor the number of tourists visiting specific islands like Balicasag and Pamilacan island.

The Loboc River Cruise, the floating restaurant previously known for their buffet lunch, has changed its buffet set-up to plated meals and lessened the number of guests seated per table. While live entertainment is still provided, performers serenade tourists from the far end of the boat and all crew visibly wear face masks and shields. A local dance troupe also performs from a platform along the river, which provides a natural barrier from visitors. 

Minimum health protocols are also required for tours such as ATV rides around the foothills of the Chocolate Hills and island-hopping and hiking to La Manok Island in Anda. All tour operators and establishments make sure to scan the contact tracing cards of visitors when they arrive.

Everywhere we went, all tourism frontliners, from the hotel staff, servers in restaurants, boatmen, and cultural performers, even in the more remote areas, were wearing face masks and/or face shields to ensure minimum health protocols and protection from tourists. 

Get ready to master the art of taking selfies or bring a tripod and remote (or a companion within your travel bubble) because tour guides are no longer allowed to take your souvenir photos to avoid frequent touching of phones and cameras.

Is it worth it?

As a travel writer stuck in Metro Manila since mid-March, I really welcomed the chance to visit Bohol for my first real post-lockdown trip and experience this “new normal” type of travel.

Even before the pandemic, Bohol has been a destination I never mind going back to. Bohol’s beautiful white sand beaches, natural attractions, amazing seafood, eco-friendly resorts, and rich culture always makes the island worth visiting over and over again. 

Unlike other popular tourist destinations that have reopened in the Philippines, Bohol offers a diverse range of attractions all in one destination. You get nature, adventure, beaches, hills, great food and culture all in one island. 

For those who prefer offbeat destinations or want to explore a rarely seen side of Bohol, the laid-back town of Anda, 2.5 hours by land from Panglao offers a pristine stretch of white beach that would rival Boracay.

But beyond the sights, Bohol’s unique draw is the warmth and hospitality of the people.

There are not a lot of destinations in the country that are open to domestic tourists right now, but I think Bohol is a great choice for families/clans traveling together, intimate destination weddings, honeymooners planning for their a romantic getaway, divers who want a base to explore stunning dive sites and leisure travelers who are raring to travel and take a well-deserved break from pandemic living in Manila.

Bohol has the facilities and safety measures in place to cater to large groups despite the pandemic. They have already been open to MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) and hosted two large events like the PHITEX and MICE Familiarization Tour, proving that with a controlled itinerary, they can be an ideal destination for business travel, corporate team-building, meetings, year-end retreats, and more.

At the moment, Bohol is only connected to domestic destinations. If you are coming from outside of the Philippines, you will have to fly to Luzon or Mindanao to catch a plane to Bohol.

From Luzon or Mindanao in the Philippines to Bohol

Traveling by air is the most convenient and hassle-free way to reach Bohol. If you’re coming from Luzon, you can fly directly from Ninoy Aquino International Airport  (NAIA) in Manila to the Bohol-Panglao International Airport.

It will take you approximately an hour and a half. Philippine Airlines , Cebu Pacific , and Air Asia have daily flights from Manila to Bohol.

From Outside of the Philippines to Bohol 

Bohol is an international airport, but it currently has limited international flights, which includes flights from and to Seoul. For other destinations, you will have to fly to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Airport.

NAIA is connected to several international destinations in Northeast and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, North America, and Europe. From the Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport, you can fly directly to the Bohol-Panglao Airport.

Another way to reach Bohol is by traveling by sea. While this route may take longer, you will get to experience a different kind of adventure. Several ferries can take you to Bohol from Cebu, Dumaguete, Siquijor, Cagayan de Oro, and Camiguin.

From Cebu by Ferry

If you’ll be coming from Cebu, the fastest way to reach Bohol is via fast craft. You will reach Tagbilaran Port after two hours. OceanJet has several trips from Bohol to Cebu every day. 

You can also take the slow ferry to get to Tagbilaran. Lite Ferries have daily trips to Tagbilaran. While a slow ferry is cheaper than a fast craft, it will take you four hours to reach Bohol.

There are five major passenger ports in Cebu; Pier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Take note that OceanJet and Lite Ferries operate at Pier 1. You can purchase your tickets at the ferry terminal, but it is more advisable to buy them in advance.

If you're coming from Dumaguete City , you can travel to Bohol by fast ferry. The trip to Bohol from Dumaguete will only take two hours. There are limited options when you're going to Bohol from Dumaguete.

OceanJet has two visits to Tagbilaran every day. If you're traveling during peak season, be sure to book your tickets in advance, as they usually sell out quickly.

From Siquijor by Ferry

If you're in Siquijor, you can travel to Bohol by fast ferry. The trip will only take approximately one hour and a half. Similar to Dumaguete, you'll have limited options when traveling from Siquijor to Bohol.

OceanJet has one fast ferry trip from Larena, Siquijor to Tagbilaran, Bohol every day. If you're going to Bohol during peak season, be sure to book your tickets in advance, as they usually sell out quickly. 

From Camiguin by Ferry

If you’re in Camiguin , you can travel to Bohol via the Roll On, Roll Off (RoRo) vessel. A RoRo is a vessel commonly used to transport wheeled vehicles such as buses across the sea to various island provinces in the Philippines.

From Davao via Cagayan de Oro or Butuan by Ferry

No ferries are plying from Davao to Bohol. However, you can head to Nasipit Port in Butuan or to Cagayan de Oro Port where you can take a ferry to Bohol.

Take note that the drive from Davao City to Nasipit is six hours, whereas the drive from Davao to Cagayan de Oro is five hours. These routes are a long way to get to Bohol. You can always fly directly from Davao to Bohol. But if you fancy a road trip through Mindanao, then this route can be quite an experience.  

Take note that once you arrive at the Bohol-Panglao International Airport, taxis will be your only transportation option. Jeepneys and tricycles are not allowed in the airport complex. So unless you have pre-arranged transportation to fetch you and take you to your accommodations, you’ll have to take a taxi. 

However, if you’re coming to Bohol by sea, you’re in luck. You can find plenty of tricycles and some taxis around the Tagbilaran Port. Tricycles can bring you to most locations within Tagbilaran City and neighboring towns.

You will need to hop on a jeepney, a bus, a van for hire (popularly called V-Hire), or motorbikes for hire (known as habal-habal) to get to distant towns. 

Another essential thing first-time travelers to Bohol need to know are the main transportation terminals around the island. Take note of these areas where you can board the transportation options when getting around Bohol.

City Square Mall

If you're traveling within Tagbilaran or to nearby towns, head to the City Square Mall. It is where you will find public transport for short distances destinations such as Lila, Baclayon, Cortes, Corella, and Loboc. If you’re heading to the historic Baclayon Church or Loboc River, you can catch a ride at City Square Mall in Tagbilaran City. 

Island City Mall- Dao Integrated Bus and Jeepney Terminal 

Most public transportation departs from Dao Integrated Bus and Jeepney Terminal, which is located near the Island City Mall in Tagbilaran City. It is where you'll find buses bound for towns such as Anda, Jagna, Ubay, Carmen, and Danao, among others. You can also find jeepneys or multicabs that go to Panglao Island here.

If you traveled to Bohol by ferry and don't want to spend a lot on a taxi to your hotel in Panglao, you can catch a tricycle to Island City Mall. You can buy supplies at the mall and hop on a jeepney to Panglao at the nearby terminal. This way you can cut your taxi costs.

If you’re planning to explore the beautiful beaches of Anda or check out the iconic Chocolate Hills in Carmen, you can also catch a bus at the Integrated Bus Terminal. You can also find a bus here to take you to Danao, where the Danao Adventure Park is.

Depending on where you're staying and your budget for commuting, it's essential to take note of the following types of transportation for a more convenient getaway. 

Van or Car Rental

If you prefer to get around Bohol in a private vehicle, you can rent a car in Bohol. There are several car and van rental companies in Bohol. You can hire a private car or van with a driver for your trip.

It is more convenient, especially when you're traveling with a group and doing  countryside tours of Bohol . There are also car rentals in Bohol that allow you to drive the vehicle yourself. 

If your destination is outside of Tagbilaran City, you will have to get on a bus at the Tagbilaran Bus Terminal near Island City Mall. On the other hand, if you’re coming from outside Tagbilaran City, take note that buses do not pass through the city center. They will only take you as far as the Integrated Jeep and Bus Terminal. From there, you can take a tricycle or jeepney to your destination.

Buses can take you to towns such as Anda, Jagna, Ubay, Carmen, Danao, and Panglao island.  Unlike jeepneys, buses have conductors whom you will be giving your fare to. Tell the conductor your destination when you hand in your payment. 

Several small independent bus companies are servicing Bohol.  Buses traveling to significant towns follow regular schedules, whereas buses going to smaller towns only have a few trips per day.

Jeepneys routes in Bohol are not numbered. Instead, their signages will indicate specific points and roads within Tagbilaran City. Provincial jeepneys, on the other hand, will indicate the town name. Most routes converge at Island City Mall and Integrated Bus, as well as Jeepney Terminal. Some routes are also covered at the Tagbilaran City Square Mall.

You can hail a jeepney from any major road. However, jeepneys do not have a fixed schedule, and waiting for a jeepney may take up to 30 minutes. Additionally, jeepneys frequently stop to drop off or pick up passengers, which can extend your travel time.

When riding a jeepney, take note that payments are handed to the driver during the ride. If you’re seated at the far end of the jeepney, politely ask other passengers to pass it to the driver for you.

Be sure to say “Palihug” (Please) as you hand them your fare. Likewise, if you happen to be the one sitting close to the driver, offer the same courtesy to passengers at the far end by passing along their fare to the driver. 

When you're about 5 to 10 meters away from your stop, say, "Para po!" (Please stop), to notify the driver to slow down and stop at the nearest unloading station.

Motorized tricycles, or simply tricycles, are the local form of the auto-rickshaw similar to Thailand’s tuk-tuk. These public utility vehicles ply a set route in inner roads. Built-in a variety of styles that differ from city to city, these are usually made locally by building a sidecar affixed to a motorcycle. These can accommodate 2 to 4 passengers only.

You can hail a tricycle from any part of the city. But you can also find tricycles lined up in front of Island City Mall. You can hire a tricycle like a taxi or charter it for day tours around Bohol. This type of arrangement is tagged as a "special trip," and so will cost you considerably more.

V-Hire is short for "van for hire." V-Hires are air-conditioned mini-vans that can carry 12-15 people to routes across the major towns in Bohol. They are a more comfortable and faster option than buses. They also typically cost twice the price of a bus ticket.

V-Hires have designated stops, where they can drop off or pick up passengers. V-Hires have terminals in Carmen, Tubigon, Guindulman, Ubay, Talibon, and Trinidad. In Tagbilaran City, you can find V-Hires at the Integrated Jeep and Bus Terminal.  

If you're a solo backpacker or in a hurry, you can hire local motorcycle drivers to give you a lift. These motorcycles for hire are locally known as habal-habal.  It is often the only way to reach interior towns if you have missed the bus.

Habal-Habal is also a good option if you don't want to spend too much on a taxi or you don't want to wait for a jeepney. Fair warning, habal-habal drivers tend to drive fast over rough roads. If the speed of the driver is starting to alarm you, politely ask the driver to slow down a little. 

Only a few taxi companies operate in Bohol. You can usually find taxis outside the seaport and near malls. Taxi drivers will generally turn on the meter when traveling within Tagbilaran City. However, if you’re going outside the city limit, the driver may ask for more since he will have to drive back to the city to pick up his next passenger.

Bohol is mainly associated with the Chocolate Hills , a unique geological formation of grass-covered hills that turn brown during the dry season. It is one of the country's most iconic landmarks and is featured in local currency.

Two hills have been developed into resorts with viewing decks for tourism. The Chocolate Hills Complex, located in Carmen, is roughly 55 kilometers from Tagbilaran.

There’s also a viewing deck located at Sagbayan Peak, about 18 kilometers away from Carmen. Both tourist spots in Bohol offer stunning views of the surrounding hills.

Another exciting geological feature on Panglao Island is Hinagdanan Cave, a naturally lit cavern with a deep lagoon and an underground water source. 

• Find tours to Hinagdanan Cave

See Tarsiers Up Close 

For first-timers in Bohol, one of the main attractions worth seeing are the Philippine tarsiers, cute animals with big, round eyes that feed primarily on insects. Tarsiers are nocturnal, so during the day, they’re mostly hiding or sleeping. 

• Join tours to the Tarsier Sanctuaries

The Philippine tarsier is a species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the Philippines, particularly on the islands of Bohol, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao.

You can see tarsiers up close at the Tarsier Sanctuary, situated in a forest in Corella. Note that tarsiers are very sensitive to loud noises and lights, so travelers should not use flash when taking photos. Visitors are not allowed to touch the animals.

Loboc River is another major tourist attraction in Bohol. Located in the town of Carmen, the river takes a westerly course for a distance of about 1.5 km, then flows due south into the Mindanao or the Bohol Sea.

The Loboc River Cruise is a must-try when you’re in Bohol. It involves an hour-long cruise on floating huts with buffet meals  and entertainment from local folk singers. The clean and green river flanked by coconut trees provides a very scenic and peaceful backdrop for river cruises. 

If you want to explore the Loboc River differently,  stand-up paddleboarding or SUP is a different attraction being offered in the area.

The Bilar Man-Made Forest, stretching in a two-kilometer stretch of densely planted Mahogany trees located on the border of Loboc and Bilar towns, is another popular spot.

It is often a side trip for travelers going to the Chocolate Hills from Loboc. The forest creates a scenic tunnel of trees bordering the road, which makes it a good spot for photos.

The town of Anda boasts several beautiful white beaches and other natural attractions. Located on the far eastern side of the province of Bohol, about 100 kilometers from the capital along the coast, Anda offers a more tranquil and isolated getaway with fewer commercial accommodations.

You can expect the same beautiful white sand beaches. The main beach area is about 1.5 km long, but there are other beaches along the coast.

Go Island-Hopping on Pamilacan Island and Balicasag Island    

Pamilacan Island is a small island that has become a favorite among divers and snorkelers. It’s a great place to go snorkeling, dolphin-watching , and whale-watching. Balicasag Island, on the other hand, is where travelers head to watch sea turtles. Balicasag is also known for its underwater attractions, which you can see for yourself when you book Bohol diving packages .

Some shops offer mountain bike rentals so you can explore on your own. Other tour operators offer guided mountain bike tours with prices that vary depending on the length of the tour.

What to Eat and Drink in Bohol             

Bohol is a great place for foodies to discover tasty, homegrown dishes. If you’re craving seafood, you won’t be disappointed!

Being an island, you can expect the freshest seafood in Bohol, which you can try when you book an  oyster and seafood buffet tour . 

Bohol Cuisine is similar to that of Cebu and other neighboring Visayan provinces. However, Bohol is famous for its local delicacies such as Peanut Kisses and Kalamay. 

Peanut Kisses is a peanut delicacy inspired by Hershey's Kisses. This sweet and crunchy snack is made of high-quality peanuts and egg white. Peanut Kisses are also shaped like Bohol’s Chocolate Hills. This treat is a must-try if you’re in Bohol. It is also an excellent snack to take home.

On the other hand, Kalamay is a sticky sweet delicacy made of coconut milk, brown sugar, and glutinous rice. Kalamay is exceptionally sticky and runny when it is warm. It is typically packaged inside an empty polished coconut shell. It works great as a filling for bread, although it is also excellent on its own.

There are a lot of restaurants in Bohol that serve distinctly Visayan cuisine. Aside from sweet delicacies, Bohol is home to restaurants that serve not only great food but also a great experience. 

Bohol Bee Farm

One of the best places to try is the Bohol Bee Farm, an organic farm that offers a great spot for healthy lunches and light meals in a rustic setting. Be sure to try their farm-fresh salads and soups, stir-fried organic veggies, or seafood.

Shaka Bohol

If you’re looking for a vegetarian restaurant in Panglao, head to Shaka Bohol. This eatery is a vegetarian paradise. They serve delectable and filling vegan burgers, fries, pancakes, tacos, and many more. They are also famous for their selection of smoothie bowls that are made from fresh fruits.

Shaka also serves cocktails and craft beer from Cebruery, a Visayan brewery famous for its artisanal ales and lagers. If you’re a craft beer enthusiast, you might want to try their Chocolate Hills Porter!

Tarsier Paprika

For those who want a fine-dining experience with a view, Tarsier Paprika at Donatela Resort and Sanctuary (one of the Bali-inspired resorts in the Philippines ) in Panglao is the right choice. The resto-bar sits on top of a cliff and blends international flavors with fresh local ingredients and garden herbs. 

Gerarda’s Family Restaurant

Are you craving authentic home-cooked Filipino cuisine? Gerarda’s in Bohol is sure to satisfy your craving. This well-loved family-owned restaurant in Tagbilaran City is a converted ancestral house that boasts antiques and elegant classic Filipino furnishings. 

More than its elegant interior and homey ambiance, Gerarda’s prides itself on its sumptuous Filipino meals in generous servings and reasonable prices.

Their best-selling dishes include dinakdakan, beef kare-kare, and crispy tadyang (ribs). Aside from Filipino food, they also have vegetarian and vegan options.

Buzz Cafe is a popular Alona Beach restaurant. It is managed by the Bohol Bee farm and conveniently located along Alona Beach. This beachfront establishment serves the same fare as the Bohol Bee Farm, but with a different view.

Be sure to try Buzz Cafe’s famous homemade ice cream served in cassava cones. They usually come in unique flavors like malunggay, honey, spicy ginger, pandan, and dragon fruit.

Before you start planning your Bohol trip, take note of these essential practical travel and safety tips for a hassle-free and convenient trip to this beautiful island province. These tips are especially useful if it's your first time in Bohol. 

Major establishments in Bohol accept credit cards. There are also ATMs and money changers in the city center of Tagbilaran City. You will find the best rates at the money changers in Island City Mall, and on the street between Rose Pharmacy and the Jollibee Restaurant.

However, it is still better to bring enough Philippine Peso (PHP) with you, and smaller bills in 20, 50, and 100 denominations for faster transactions.

Additionally, always carry loose change and bills in small denominations. They will come in handy when you ride public transportation, or when you have to buy food and small items from vendors. 

The majority of Bohol locals can speak Cebuano and Tagalog. Most locals also understand English well, so don't be afraid to ask questions or directions. Say "Hello," first when approaching them to establish a friendly tone.

Bohol tourism: How is traveling now with the easing of health protocols?

For those who are planning to travel again around the Philippines, worry no more because some of the tedious requirements and strict protocols are no longer required!

Here’s what I experienced during my Bohol adventure.

Some airlines will no longer require an antigen or a negative RT-PCR test, at least for domestic travel. In Bohol, just prepare your COVID-19 vaccination card or certificate, one valid ID, and plane tickets and you’re good to go. No need for confirmed hotel booking and travel itinerary.

Do-it-yourself (DIY) travel is also allowed now in the province.

Compared to my experience going to Davao during the height of the pandemic in November 2021, traveling is definitely easier now. But this also means you have to prepare for some indications of normalcy.

When we arrived at NAIA Terminal 2, the scene was almost like from more than two years ago, when COVID-19 was unknown—except for the mandatory wearing of masks and people who sprayed on alcohol after touching surfaces.

Pro-tip, process your tickets online to avoid lining up at the airport to check in manually, and be early if you have baggage to drop off.

For those who had been traveling during the implementation of strict health protocols, you might be surprised as most cabin crew had stopped wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) except for face masks.

Inside the plane, however, safety measures are still in place, such as the discharging of disinfectant mist.

Arriving at Bohol-Panglao International Airport is a breeze because the additional checking of documents, such as QR codes and negative COVID-19 tests, has been eliminated.

After a good 10 minutes, I’m already outside the arrival area waiting for the staff of the Department of Tourism (DOT) Region VII for our familiarization tour.

For those who haven’t booked transportation in advance, no worries because there are many vehicles for hire outside the arrival area.

During our trip to the hotel, it was refreshing to see a lot of open establishments with many tourists visiting and dining in. Aside from the blow-by-blow arrival of tourists, the locals’ busy faces ready to serve and welcome are the most notable.

Upon arrival at the hotel, we were served some refreshing welcome drinks. In less than five minutes, we were done checking in.

Our hotel opted to operate al-fresco dining with buffet services. Still, wearing of masks is required while getting food.

If you’re planning to book your first travel since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s easier and more comfortable to do it now without the anxiety of catching the disease. Aside from the protection from the vaccine, travel operators are more prepared now to handle tourists.

Bohol drops COVID-19 vax card as entry requirement

CEBU CITY, Philippines – Bohol, one of the prime tourist destinations in the country, has further relaxed its entry protocols.  

The Provincial Government of Bohol announced on Thursday, September 22, 2022, that it has dropped COVID-19 vaccination card as an arrival requirement.  

Governor Aris Aumentado issued Executive Order (EO) No. 32 titled  “ Lifting the Requirement to Present COVID-19 Vaccination Card or Certification for Asymptomatic Travelers to Bohol.”  

The EO was signed on Wednesday, September 21, the provincial government said in a statement .  

Exhibiting symptoms

Bohol’s latest move is part of their efforts to spur more economic activities.  

“With the ongoing mass vaccination program of the national government and local government units (LGUs), it has been observed that the number of COVID-19 cases is no longer as high as it was at the start of the pandemic and certain provinces no longer require the presentation of vaccination cards or certificate of vaccination for inbound travelers,” Aumentado said in his EO.  

However, EO No. 32 still requires inbound travelers to show their vaccination card if they exhibit any symptoms of the infection.  

“Inbound travelers exhibiting symptoms who could not present a vaccination card shall be advised to seek medical intervention and required to disclose his/her personal details and point of destination for possible contact-tracing,” the EO added.  

In the meantime, Aumentado encouraged local government units in his province to intensify their respective COVID-19 vaccination drives.

HOW TO GET TO BOHOL

There’s no direct flight yet from outside the Philippines to Bohol, so your best bet is to fly to either Manila or Cebu then go to Bohol. If you’re coming from Manila, you can fly directly to Bohol.  Meanwhile, from Cebu, Bohol is just a short fast craft away.

  MANILA TO BOHOL

From Panglao International Airport, you have the following options to get to your hotel: private airport transfer by car, shared van, or public bus .  If you opt to take the minivan, you can also be transferred to your hotel in Alona Beach,

    PANGLAO AIRPORT TRANSFER (PRIVATE): RESERVE HERE

If you go by private airport transfer, you will be transferred directly to your hotel from the airport. This option is good if your hotel is in other parts of Panglao. Or if your hotel is in Alona Beach or other parts of Panglao, but you wanted privacy and safety.

  PANGLAO AIRPORT TO ALONA BEACH (ANY HOTEL) (SHARED): RESERVE HERE

This is a great option of you are staying in Alona Beach area and you wanted to save. The shared van will transfer you from Panglao Airport to your hotel in Alona Beach. But remember this is a shared van, so please wear your mask and face shield.

 PANGLAO AIPORT TO ALONA BEACH (POLICE STATION IN ALONA) BUS: RESERVE HERE

Cebu to bohol by ferry boat/fast craft.

If you’re coming from Cebu, you can take a fast craft from Cebu City to Bohol. There are 2 fast craft routes:

PANGLAO RESORTS AND HOTELS

For most of the year, Bohol hotels and resorts are priced accordingly. If you’re wondering where to stay in Bohol during your trip, Panglao is an ideal base due to its proximity to Panglao International Airport and many top tourist attractions in Bohol. If you decide to stay in Panglao, I have 3 recommendations, find accommodations within or near: Alona Beach, Dumaluan Beach, and Panglao Center.

Alona Beach is a convenient base because almost everything you need is here – restaurants, accommodations, tours, water sports, nightlife, etc. Meanwhile, Dumaluan Beach area is a quiet alternative to Alona Beach, if you want a more peaceful location, this area is not as crowded and noisy, with a pretty nice beach. However, the downside is, there’s not much dining options in Dumaluan Beach, you still have to go to Alona Beach area or Panglao center for restaurants. Panglao center near Alona Beach is also a good base, no beach but most accommodations have lower rates compared to Alona Beach. Besides, you still can access the famed beach in a short distance if you stay here.

Here’s some of the top accommodations in Panglao area according to previous guests, they’re ideal for family, couples, or group of friends. Remember to check the location before booking.

Bohol drops COVID vaccination card requirement

WELCOME Travelers who arrive at the Bohol-Panglao International Airport, like these passengers on Friday, are no longer required to present their COVID-19 vaccination cards provided they do not show symptoms of the disease. —LEO UDTOHAN

TAGBILARAN CITY — As cases of COVID-19 continue to wane, the province of Bohol has decided to ease the mandatory presentation of COVID-19 vaccination cards when entering the island.

“Relaxing the entry protocol to Bohol is one way of stimulating the local economy and starting the march to economic recovery,” said Bohol Gov. Erico Aristotle Aumentado.

Under Executive Order No. 32 which he signed on Wednesday, Aumentado, however, stressed that the nonmandatory presentation of vaccine cards applies to asymptomatic individuals only.

Inbound travelers exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 will be required to present their vaccination cards before they will be allowed to enter the province, the governor’s EO said.

Those who cannot present a vaccination card will be advised to seek medical intervention and disclose their personal details and point of destination for possible contact tracing, the order added.

Bohol earlier required travelers to present vaccination cards or certificates before entering the island. Those unvaccinated travelers were required to present a negative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction swab test result taken 72 hours before departure from their point of origin.

Aumentado said it was time to slowly relax some policies, especially since many people have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

He urged those who have yet to be inoculated against the virus to get vaccinated to further bring down the cases of COVID-19.

“(The vaccination drive will be) intensified in all levels of the local government units in Bohol,” the governor said.

Bohol, which has a population of 1.3 million based on the 2020 census, is home to the famed Chocolate Hills and numerous beach resorts, which are the prime drawers for leisure travelers entering the island.

As of September 21, Bohol recorded a total of 26,170 COVID-19 cases since the pandemic struck in March 2020. Of the number, 150 were still active, based on data from the Department of Health.  —LEO UDTOHAN

What is COVID-19?

Who can get covid-19, can i travel if i recently had covid-19, what can travelers do to prevent covid-19, more information.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The virus spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets and small particles produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. The virus spreads easily in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor settings.

People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms   – ranging from no or mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2–14 days after exposure to the virus. Possible symptoms include fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, new loss of taste and smell, sore throat, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Anyone can get COVID-19. However, some people are more likely than others to get very sick if they get COVID-19. These include people who are older, are  immunocompromised , or have certain  disabilities , or have  underlying health conditions .  Vaccination, past infection, and timely access to testing and treatment can help protect you from getting very sick from COVID-19.

Yes, you can travel once you have ended isolation . Check CDC guidance for additional precautions, including testing and wearing a mask around others. If you recently had COVID-19 and are recommended to wear a mask, do not travel on public transportation such as airplanes, buses, and trains if you are unable to wear a mask whenever around others.

Get  up to date  with your COVID-19 vaccines before you travel and take steps to protect yourself and others . Consider wearing a mask in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor areas, including on public transportation and in transportation hubs. Take additional precautions if you were recently exposed to a person with COVID-19. Don’t travel while sick.

If you have a  weakened immune system  or  are at increased risk for severe disease talk to a healthcare professional before you decide to travel.  If you travel, take multiple prevention steps to provide additional layers of protection from COVID-19, even if you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines. These include improving ventilation and spending more time outdoors, avoiding sick people, getting tested for COVID-19 if you develop symptoms, staying home if you have or think you have COVID-19, and seeking treatment if you have COVID-19.

Consider getting travel insurance in case you need medical care abroad .

Consider getting a COVID-19 test if you:

• Develop COVID-19 symptoms before, during, or after travel.
• Will be traveling to visit someone who is at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19.
• Were in a situation with a greater risk of exposure during travel (e.g., in an indoor, crowded space like an airport terminal while not wearing a mask).

If you traveled and feel sick, particularly if you have a fever, talk to a healthcare professional, and tell them about your recent travel.

CHECKLIST: All the requirements needed when traveling to Bohol

Avail the subsidized rt-pcr test for as low as p750.

A few days from now, we are about to mark the first anniversary of nationwide lockdown imposed last March 15, 2020 to fight the spread of COVID-19. 

As we slowly see the light at the end of the long, dark tunnel with the arrival of vaccines, the Inter-Agency Task Force Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) has eased the requirements for domestic travel. Thus, there is a huge demand for flight seats. A lot of people, however, are wondering what the requirements are to visit the beautiful province of Bohol. 

Manila Bulletin Lifestyle recently visited the said province during the Department of Tourism (DOT)’s familiarization program. We are listing here all the requirements needed to be able to visit Bohol as a tourist.

• Negative COVID-19 test result

Even though the IATF already announced that swab test is no longer necessary, the local government unit (LGU) still has the final say. In case of Bohol, Governor Arthur Yap is not waiving it. 

With that, travelers must have a negative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test taken 72 hours before the date of travel. The province also accepts saliva or antigen test as long as it yields a negative result. 

To make this affordable for tourists coming from Metro Manila, they can apply for the subsidized RT-PCR test at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) or at the Philippine Children's Medical Center (PCMC) for as low as P900 and P750, respectively. To avail this 50 percent discount, visit www.tpb.gov.ph/rtpcrphtravel . 

2. Pre-booked accommodations at DOT-accredited or Ultimate Bohol Experience (UBE) certified establishments  

3. Travel itinerary including confirmed tour bookings through DOT-accredited tour operators (if going on tour).  

4. Registration in the province of Bohol website at tourism.bohol.gov.ph for the issuance of personal QR codes. This will serve as the tourists’ electronic IDs all throughout their stay.

5. Download the Traze contract tracing app available on App store and Google Playstore . Tourists will be needing this at the airport. 

On the top of this list, always practice safety health protocols such as wearing of face mask and face shield, washing hands regularly, and maintaining social distancing.

Have a fun and safe trip!
