Well Fred, what I do know is that no Foreigners allowed in Philippines unless they have a long term visa, in other words you guys living in Philippines can leave and re enter no new visa's issued can be used. So for the time being I'm stuck. Singapore Airlines have cancelled flights to Manila because of Manila airport entry regulations and have moved my flight to March now with an £487 increase. If anyone is aware of any useful updates in the future please post on here.
