Once again, this is an initiative of a group of Filipino community and business leaders particularly of Bangkok Vista Holiday Co., Ltd. who have graciously offered their services for FREE and even assigned a Filipino staff in hopes of assisting the government in bringing home stranded Filipinos in Thailand.
Meanwhile, the quarantine procedures in Manila are as follows:
- Mandatory COVID-19 test (OWWA pays for OFWs, self-payment for those who are non-OFWs);
- Mandatory quarantine to await result of COVID-19 test (OWWA pays for quarantine for OFWs, self-payment for non-OFWs or possible free quarantine at a ship managed by the Philippine Coast Guard); and
- If COVID-19 test is negative, repatriates can go home. Those living in the provinces can already book a flight or ship home. If positive, repatriates will be admitted in a DOH managed facility.
Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) will pay for the COVID-19 test, accommodation and food of OFW repatriates. OFWs need to register at http://oasis.owwa.gov.ph and Red Cross https://e-cif.redcross.org.ph before their flight.
Maraming salamat po at mabuhay!
