MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) gave assurance that it would increase the number of personnel manning international airports once the country opens its borders to foreign tourists. In a statement, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said that with the lower number of COVID-19 cases in the country, they anticipate that the country would soon open its borders to foreign tourists. While the current manpower of the BI would need to be increased should international travel return to normal, the bureau would implement a response plan to address the manpower needs at the international airports. The BI issued the statement after presidential spokesman Harry Roque said that the Philippines would reopen to international tourists in due time.
