From Dec. 12 to Dec. 14, travelers from Portugal would be allowed entry but would have to undergo quarantine and testing protocols for returning Filipinos from red list countries.
Beginning Dec. 15, travelers from Portugal will be barred from entering the Philippines, unless they are Filipinos for repatriation on Bayanihan flights.
