Bureau of Immigration(BI)

Hi!

May I ask what is the existing policy on inbound requirements for Filipinos from leisure travel? The traveler is from Victoria, Australia. 

Is quarantine and COVID-19 testing still required?

Would greatly appreciate if you can direct me to a specific issuance on the matter.

Thank you.
