The US Embassy to the Philippines, the Embassy of Canada to the Philippines, the British Embassy of the Philippines, and the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an advisory on the use of the “eTravel” platform for incoming international passengers. The US Embassy to the Philippines posted the following detailed advisory:

“The Philippine government requires all arriving passengers (including children) to register individually on the eTravel platform and show proof of eTravel registration upon flight check-in/boarding and arrival to the Philippines. You can register up to three days in advance of your departure for the Philippines through the BOQ’s eTravel webpage . Following registration, travelers should save a copy of the QR code, which will be required by Philippine immigration authorities.” Link

There are no recent advisories announced by the British Embassy of Manila and the Australian Embassy in the Philippines.

PSA Consultancy concurs with western government warnings to defer non-essential travel to Mindanao and to avoid chronically unstable parts of the region, particularly the Zamboanga Peninsula and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), which includes the Sulu Archipelago.
