Philippines to reopen to vaccinated tourists in February

The Philippine government said it'll allow tourists who're fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the country from February 10. This will apply to citizens of 150 nations who have visa-free entry to the Philippines, it added. "[The move] will contribute significantly to job restoration...and in the reopening of businesses that have earlier shut down," Tourism Secretary Berna Romulo-Puyat said.
