    Hi Mrs Sheridan,

    As far as we know, all locals and foreign nationals are required to obtain copy of One Health Pass. One Health Pass serve as a health declaration information for individuals visiting the Philippines. Upon arrival in PH airport before the immigration, individuals will be asked to provide this information.
