The Ninoy Aquino International Airport has encouraged returning overseas Filipino workers or OFWs to register with the One Health Pass (OHP) to streamline their documents and transactions when arriving at the airport.
The trial period for the paperless transactions have began at NAIA Terminal 2 according to Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Commander Edyson Abanilla.

“Arriving international passengers need to register to the One Health Pass to hasten the process at the airport. They only have to do a single registration which already included the Bureau of Quarantine health declaration, hotel booking, E-CIF (electronic case investigation form), immigration, OWWA (Overseas Workers Welfare Administration), MARINA (Maritime Industry Authority), and passenger undertaking,” Abanilla said in a report on the Manila Bulletin.
The paperless transaction kicked off last August 23. The One Health Pass website can be accessed via: https://www.onehealthpass.com.ph/e-HDC/
“We have a one-week adjustment period to integrate all the registration and to adapt to the paperless process,” he said.
