MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration is expecting a 30% increase in arrivals on Thursday, the first day of the country’s reopening of borders to foreign tourists after a nearly two years closure due to the pandemic.

 

BI Operations Division chief Carlos Capulong said they are expecting up to 7,000 arrivals on February 10, a significant increase from the previous day’s record of 4,816.

 

The bureau said in a statement that they are projecting that most arrivals would be Filipinos, while 27% will be foreign nationals.
