Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the relaxed protocols only apply to vaccinated travelers from 49 countries and territories on the government’s “green list”, which include North Korea, Yemen, Syria. , Madagascar, Sudan, Mali, Bhutan, the Falklands and the small islands of the South Pacific and the Caribbean. Roque said the green list will be updated by October 16.
