BI Commissioner Jaime Morente stressed it is the responsibility of the airlines to ensure that foreign passengers boarding their Philippine-bound flights are eligible to enter the country under the resolution of the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases .
He said these currently banned foreigners will be excluded upon arrival and booked on the first available flight back to their port of origin.“The IATF deems these actions necessary to curb the further spread of the coronavirus disease ,” Morente added.
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has reminded airline companies to ensure that only foreigners currently allowed to enter the Philippines would be permitted to board their flights to the country.
