Bohol is dropping the RT-PCR requirement for fully inoculated tourists in favor of a vaccination certificate from the Department of Health, its governor said last week.
To enter Bohol, travelers must present a vaccination certificate generated from the VaxCert website that is validated by the DOH Bureau of Quarantine through VaxCertPHVerifier, along with an S-Pass, Gov. Art Yap said.

Non-vaccinated and partially vaccinated tourists are still required to present a negative RT-PCR test taken at least 72 hours before scheduled departure for Bohol.
Individuals caught with a fake RT-PCR test result, vaccination certificate, or S-Pass will be fined P5,000 and quarantined in an accredited quarantine facility for five days at their own expense.
They will then be required to undergo an RT-PCR test on the fifth day of quarantine. Only those with negative results will be released.
