AUSTRALIANS IN THE PHILIPPINES
We are working hard to get more Australians home. There will be a special user-pays flight via Philippine Airlines to Sydney and if there is enough demand, also to Melbourne on Tuesday, 26 May. PAL will also run sweeper flights from Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Siargao and Tagbilaran.
These will likely be the last flights to be organised by the Embassy before resumption of regular schedules.
Register your interest via the following link: https://mypal.vip/url/AUSrepat
Please ensure you enter your details carefully. PAL had difficulty reaching some of those who registered for the previous flights – their telephone numbers were either incomplete or unattended. This caused some to miss the opportunity.
All flight arrangements will be made by PAL when there are a sufficient number of passengers. Please be patient as this may take some time. For Australian citizens with a valid Australian passport who register for the flights, you may call PAL on (02) 8855100 from Sunday 17 May to complete your booking. Phone lines will be open from 8am until 8pm each day.

Naka open ka na ng bank account? If wala pa, pwde ka mag open kahit offshore ka. Yung iba dito nasa pinas pa, nag open na sila then transfer doon sa bank account.
Pag magdala ka ng AUD the
Limit is 10k lang. More than that, you have to declare it. Ayaw naman ntin n gnun kai May further interrogation yun sa immigration.
