Good news! The Philippines’ most popular surfing destination is now ready to welcome back visitors.
Siargao Island is one of the islands in Visayas and Mindanao that was hardly hit by Typhoon Odette last December 16, 2021 that caused many establishments and businesses to close for nearly two months.
A local official confirmed that the airport in Siargao has already re-opened as several tourist destinations on the island have been gradually recovered.
Philippine Airlines also shared the good news as they resume their flights to Siargao starting on February 22, using the 86-seater De Havilland Dash 8-400 NG aircraft.
Meanwhile, Cebu Pacific has yet to announce the resumption of their flights to Siargao Island.
