December 23, 2020 THE City Government of Davao Airport Health Monitoring Team urged air passengers to be careful where they get their reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests at their point of origin after some passengers were reportedly scammed.
This comes after the Airport Health Monitoring apprehended a total of 21 persons for presenting tampered RT-PCR from July up to the present. It was in July when the city started requiring a negative RT-PCR test result upon arrival in the city. The result must be valid for at least 48 to 72 hours.
The figure includes five travelers from one flight who were apprehended on Monday, December 22, after presenting falsified RT-PCR results upon arrival at the Francisco Bangoy International Airport, also known as Davao International Airport.

Cebu Pacific on Friday launched its “test before boarding” process for passengers flying from Manila, offering antigen tests for only P700 each.
In a statement, Cebu Pacific said passengers from Manila can take an antigen test hours before the scheduled time of departure, with results released within 30 minutes.
The budget carrier said antigen tests are priced at P700, “the lowest rate in the industry.”
Cebu Pacific said the testing facility at the NAIA Terminal 3 is now open for walk-ins from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. The airline’s passengers need to register onsite and pay the fee directly to the Philippine Airport Diagnostic Laboratory.
