First and foremost, in order to avail the total free services provided in NAIA airport which is sponsored by OWWA, membership has to be updated by applying for OWWA E-Card. You can download the app or online at https://ecard.owwa.gov.ph/.

NAIA Airport Arrival Procedure:
1. Upon arrival, all OFWs will be placed in a separate area for QR Code seminar conducted by Philippine Coast Guard (around 10 minutes)
2. Just beside the seminar area, nasal and oral swab PCR Test will be performed (around 5 minutes). This was my 5th PCR Test and first oral swabbing.
3. Go to Passport Officer for arrival stamp and baggage claim
4. OWWA verification at the exit door, food pack to be provided
5. Bus to Quarantine Facility, we were brought in Makati area
6. Quarantine duration depends on PCR Test, I arrived in hotel around Sept. 28 1800H and the Negative PCR Test Result was provided Sept. 30 1100H. I left the hotel 1200H. 

NAIA Airport Departure Procedure:
1. Live the new normal, observe social distancing. 
2. Negative Covid19 test certificate requirement, depends on the airline and airport of destination. I availed the St. Lukes Hospital Covid Test, PhP4,300 with result around 12 hours.
