A part of Christmas tradition for us Filipinos is going back home to spend time with our family. It’s the time of the year where a lot of people travel to their provinces for the holidays causing bus stations to be packed, and lines for every other public transportation are long. Because of the pandemic, it is best to prepare for your trip in advance especially because protocols and requirements for travel these days are very different from what they used to be.

THEPOORTRAVELERKLOOK

Among the transportation options, especially for those who prefer a cheaper way to go to the provinces in Visayas and Mindanao are ferries. 2Go Travel is one of the biggest sea travel provider in the Philippines. They currently have more than a dozen operational routes plying from Manila or Batangas to different provinces and vice versa.

If you are planning to go back to your province for the holiday season, here are 2Go’s operational routes for December 2020 and the protocols they currently implement for passengers.

Travel Requirements to Secure Before Your Trip

1. Prepare your travel requirements.

Travel requirements vary depending on your point of origin and destination. You may check the requirements list provided by 2Go Travel here.

You may also check with the local government of your origin and destination if there have been changes for the travel requirements.

2. Download the Traze App.

All passengers are required to download and register on the Traze App, the application for contact tracing that is used by scanning a QR Code. For more details about how to use the Traze App, you may check our post.

Ferry / Ship Boarding Protocol

  1. Get your body temperature checked. Upon entry, all passengers are subject to a body temperature check. Passengers with a temperature higher than 37.5 °C may be refused entry.
  2. Fill out the Health Declaration Form. A health declaration form will be given to all passengers. Fill out all information completely and honestly.
  3. Board the ferry in an orderly manner. 2Go Travel will be boarding passengers by batch. There will be 20 passengers per batch. Long waiting time at the boarding gate is also discouraged. Port buses will be on standby to take you to the ship immediately.
  4. Scan boarding pass. For a faster check-in process, your boarding pass will be scanned by a 2Go personnel.
  5. Use foot bath. Before boarding the vessel, use the provided foot bath to disinfect your shoes. There will also be a thermal scanner to check your body temperature.
