5月2日（土）午後23時50分頃、マニラのニノイアキノ国際空港は自身のフェイスブックページにて、5月3日（日）午前8時から、全ての乗客、商業フライトの離発着を中断すると発表した。
新型コロナウィルス対策国家特別タスクフォースによると、この措置はフィリピン国内における新型コロナウィルスの致命的な感染拡大を防ぐためのもので、貨物、医療品、ユーティリティー、航空機メンテンナンスは除外するとしている。
ニノイアキノ国際空港では、日本向けに、全日本空輸（ANA）が羽田行きを週3便（月・水・金）、日本航空（JAL）が成田行きを週2便（火・土）、それぞれ運航しているが、この措置により、明日以降にマニラ発の日本行きフライトがどうなるのかはまだ分かっていない。
ネット上では、発表から施行までわずか8時間という余りにも短い時間での導入に、早急すぎる！今フライト中で朝8時以降に到着する場合は入国できないのか？とか、せっかくフィリピンへ帰国できると思ったのに、いつになれば帰国できるのか！等、批判が相次いでいる。
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
