Arrival in Manila
Upon arrival in Manila at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA Terminals 1 and 3), please proceed to the International Organizations Desk which is located right after the customs clearance area. An ADB contact person will direct you to the taxi queue (at the Arrival Area) for your transfer to the hotel. If arriving at Terminal 2, please proceed to the taxi queue outside the arrival area.
Accredited NAIA metered taxi services on a cash basis may be taken from the airport to Ortigas Center (where ADB is located) for an approximate rate of Philippine Peso (PHP) 1,000 (about US$17–18).
Grab (a ride-hailing app) may be also taken thru the Grab Booth in each Terminal with an approximate rate of Philippine Peso (PHP) 800 (about US$14-15). Kindly request the booth operator to book a ride from the airport to your hotel. Please refer to this link for more information: Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) transfers - Grab.

COVID Rules for Entry to the Philippines
In line with the Presidential Proclamation No. 297, which lifted the state of public health emergency in the Philippines due to COVID-19, relevant travel restrictions have also been lifted. Vaccination and COVID tests are no longer required for entry to the country while registration on eTravel is still required.
ADB Travelers must register with eTravel – Philippine One-Stop Electronic Travel Declaration System for a smoother and quicker entry process. Without the OHP, entry will take longer since documents will need to be verified manually upon arrival. Please note that upon completion of your registration, a QR code will be provided; please ensure to take a screenshot of this. Please also note that you may only register within 48 hours before you arrive in the Philippines. Registration in eTravel is FREE.
Please see Philippine Travel Information System for more information.
