Travel in the Philippines during Covid 19: Not so easy!

Me, and many others, are used to travel either for leisure purposes, exploring, or due to work situation, visiting family, friends etc.
Since mid March, we here in the Philippines have basically been locked down, encouraged to stay home. Travelling from one town to another, and one province to another, has in many places been virtually impossible.
Until this day, July 25, 2020, we are not able, since March 16, to travel from Digos (Davao del Sur), down to Davao Occidental, where we have family and our own house and land.

It is very confusing, as one person says this, and another one says that.

I need to go to Davao City for my Visa renewal, and I had an appointment at the Immigration Bureau.  But I went to the Barangay hall (small political areas in the Philippines are named Barangays, and the captain of the Barangay is like a small king,  ha ha).

I spoke with the person I was sent to in an office at the Hall, and she told me that I can travel to Davao city without a travel pass, but upon return, I need to isolate myself in a room, not being close to my family, and not go outside. CRAZY! For 14 days!

So I just skipped my travel to Davao city, until further info is available.

Now I talked with a friend of the Barangay captain, and she called him. He said that I need a travel pass, issued one day before travelling. But no need for self quarantine upon return if I have no symptoms.
Very confusing! So now I must apply for another appointment at the Immigration. Hmm.

It seems at though each town, even down to barangay levels, decide their own policies.

And now they write about the president of this island nation that he will force mass testing, and arrest people who spread the virus. WOW!

Maybe he should visit the website of  David Icke, or watch some videos from doctors world wide who say this virus is a scam, or at least not so dangerous as it has been touted from media.

One day they said that filipinos may leave the country for tourist purposes, but then they retracted it, as only one insurance company was willing to insure travellers these days.

So as of now, we are grounded!
