Flight Contact Information Miscellaneous
I can't get to my computer in time to post updates on flights and the State Department puts them out at all times of the day for the Philippines so if this is important to you, get yourself enrolled here, also you'll get notification of when US Citizen Services set up remote visits to other areas.

Note: I wouldn't try to regulating the emailing's just get them all... I did this once and it blocked these important messages, I've heard others also mention this.
For Domestic Flights I'll post when available updates come up on the GMA News and here's that link

Quarantine Certificates:
- When purchasing airline tickets, airlines may ask travelers to provide a Quarantine Certificate. The Bureau of Quarantine issues this certificate in larger cities, e.g. Cebu and Davao. For other areas, travelers should inquire with the Provincial, City, or Municipal Health Office. The Health Office may require a certification letter from the barangay stating the individual has stayed in their locality for at least 14 days. In some cases, individuals may be asked to submit additional medical documentation, such as a chest X-ray.
- International commercial flight options currently exist in the Philippines. U.S. citizens who wish to return to the United States should make commercial arrangements as soon as possible unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. The U.S. government does not currently anticipate arranging repatriation flights in the Philippines at this time.
- The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) updates their Facebook page with scheduled international flights. Visit the MIAA Facebook and Twitter pages for an updated schedule of international flights.

- Department of Health (DOH) City or Municipal Health Office Certificates:
Travelers may need additional requirements, such as a Medical/Health Certificate on quarantine status or fitness to travel.
The DOH Bureau of Quarantine issues this certificate in larger cities, e.g. Cebu and Davao. For other areas, travelers should obtain a medical/health certificate from the City, or Municipal Health Office. Some local government Health Offices require a certification letter from the barangay stating the individual has stayed in their locality for at least 14 days to ascertain their quarantine status.

Check with your province, city, or municipality government website for more information on the Health Office in your area.
