The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has said alien traders and investors or those issued visas pursuant to Section 9(d) of the Philippine Immigration Act are now allowed to enter the country.
BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said the same privilege is extended to alien's spouse, minor children, and employees.
Also covered are foreign nationals with visas issued by the Bataan Freeport Authority, Cagayan Economic Zone Authority, and the Clark Development Corp.
The BI chief said the changes in the travel ban schedules are based on the decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force expanding the coverage of aliens allowed to enter the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
