2.       Two-year Travel Fund

Place the full cost of the ticket in a Travel Fund, or a virtual wallet with Cebu Pacific. Valid for two (2) years, the Travel Fund can be used to pay for flights up to a year out, or purchase add-ons (e.g. baggage allowance, seat selection, etc.)

The government previously declared that Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan will be placed under less strict general community quarantine.

The said areas were placed under stricter modified enhanced community quarantine due to the sudden increase in coronavirus disease cases.

As of Tuesday, the Philippines logged 169,213 total caseloads with 2,687 deaths and 112,861 recoveries. [ac]
