This provision has been repealed.Now you need to register with E-Travel and get ready for entrybe the only
Unfortunately, there are no direct flights between Davao and Japan, so you will need to stop in Manila, Cebu or Singapore to reach Davao. The most frequent and convenient major transit point from Japan is Manila International Airport, which cannot be said to be very comfortable or convenient, and many people avoid it.
In fact, recently, airlines’ departure and arrival terminals have been relocated to Manila International Airport in order to improve the comfort and convenience of passengers. All international flights of the flag carrier of the Philippines will depart from and arrive at Terminal 1; all Japan Airlines of Japan Airlines will depart and arrive at Terminal 3 without any changes; Japan Airlines will also depart from Terminal 3 Terminal Departure 1 No changes.
Previously, Terminal 2 at Manila International Airport was dedicated to Philippine Airlines operating international and domestic flights, but now Terminal 2 is used for domestic flights only, requiring a transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 (and vice versa as well).

summarize
what do you think. This time, I will give you a summary of the Philippine Airlines terminal movement at Manila International Airport. International flights depart and arrive from Terminal 1, so it takes longer than before and becomes inconvenient, but Philippine Airlines operates a free shuttle bus between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and transfers are relatively Easy, easy to improve.
Also, thanks to free shuttle buses that can move between terminals, the number of taxi drivers who don’t have time to rush connections and charge passengers has also been reduced.
As for the transfer time, after arriving in Manila from Japan and getting the passport stamped, it takes 20 minutes to claim the luggage and check it in again, 20 minutes to wait for the shuttle bus and transfer, and the remaining time is about 60 minutes when the domestic flight from Davao to Manila arrives , can arrive and wait for the shuttle bus and move in about 45 minutes.
Other domestic flights in the Philippines are operated by Air Cebu Pacific in Terminal 3 and AirAsia in Terminal 2. I will be writing about this transfer on other occasions. Stay tuned.
