Arrival in Manila
Upon arrival in Manila at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA-Terminals 1 and 3), please proceed to the International Organizations Desk which is located right after the customs clearance area. An ADB contact person will direct you to the taxi queue (at the Arrival Area) for your transfer to the hotel. If arriving at Terminal 2, please proceed to the taxi queue outside the arrival area. Accredited NAIA metered taxi services on a cash basis may be taken from the airport to Ortigas Center (where ADB is located) for an approximate rate of Philippine Peso (PHP) 900 (about US$16.00).

COVID Rules for Entry to the Philippines
Simple entry protocols to the Philippines continue to be in effect. Based on the latest guidelines from the Department of Foreign Affairs, foreign nationals and Filipinos who have received primary series COVID-19 vaccine and at least one COVID-19 booster shot no longer need an RT-PCR or Antigen test. All others are required to present a negative result of an RT-PCR Test taken within 48 hours OR Rapid Antigen test administered and certified by a healthcare professional in a healthcare facility, laboratory, clinic, pharmacy or similar, taken within 24 hours before departure from the country of origin.
All Proofs of Vaccination Status are now acceptable when entering the Philippines.
