Is Siargao accepting tourists now?

What are the requirements to enter Siargao?
The province of Surigao del Norte, where Siargao is, has been placed under Alert Level 2 by its local government (except for General Luna, which is under Alert Level 1).
However, the province’s governor has issued an executive order lifting strict requirements for visitors this summer. Here are the travel requirements for tourists planning to visit Siargao in 2022.

Those who have been fully vaccinated need only to present their vaccination certificates or vaccination cards.
For tourists who are partially vaccinated or not vaccinated

Do you need to be fully vaccinated to travel to Siargao?
You now don’t need to be fully vaccinated to enter the province or the island. But you need to get tested and have a negative result. Of course, it goes without saying that observing proper health and safety protocols. Wear a mask when indoors; observe social distancing, and wash your hands as many times as you need.
