Travel updates: List of PH provinces that require and do not require travel permit when traveling
As the government continues to ease travel restrictions, the Philippine National Police (PNP) issues Travel Pass-through Permits (TPP) for those traveling to an unrestricted area but pass through a restricted area.
"Pupunta ka lang sa police station and then bibigyan ka ng TPP. Hindi kailangan ng medical certificate. Hindi kailangan ng koordinasyon sa pupuntahan mo (Just go to the police station and they would give you a TPP. No need for a medical certificate. No need for prior coordination with the place where you are going)," - Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar
The TPP and travel authority are applicable in areas under the general community quarantine (GCQ) and the modified GCQ, however, the TPP does not apply in areas under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) and modified ECQ.
How to get Travel Pass-through Permit (TPP)
Just go to the nearest police station, and they would give you a TPP. No need for a medical certificate. No need for prior coordination with the place where you are going.
