ANNOUNCEMENT: One Health Pass (OHP)

ANNOUNCEMENT

The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco wishes to inform the public that based on Resolution 160-A dated 3 February 2022, as amended by Resolution No. 164-A dated 10 March 2022 of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), all arriving overseas Filipinos and visiting foreign nationals are still required to register at least three (3) days prior to their scheduled travel to the Philippines at the One Health Pass (OHP) portal (https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/) managed by the Bureau of Quarantine (BOQ) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) One-Stop-Shop (OSS).

OHP registration is free of charge and is part of the border control and quarantine measures for all passengers entering the Philippines to prevent and/or minimize the local spread of emerging infectious diseases (EID).  Such measures are intended to establish and reinforce a system in screening possible patients infected with EID, contact tracing, identification of the mode of the exposure to the virus, and implementation of effective quarantine and proper isolation procedures.

The public is also hereby informed that in view of the reported presence of a fraudulent website which poses as the official OHP website, and is now the subject of an investigation, the One-Stop-Shop for the Management of Returning Overseas Filipinos (OSS MROF) warns all arriving international passengers seeking entry to the Philippines to check on the correct URL and to only use the official registration portal stated above.
