00:00 The Philippine e-Visa system was launched today,

00:03 which will help in obtaining tourist visas for foreign tourists in the Philippines.

00:08 J.P. Soriano is a witness.

00:10 To attract more tourists,

00:16 a project was created to facilitate the obtaining of tourist visas

00:21 for foreign tourists in the Philippines.

00:24 An online application of tourist visas.

00:28 3, 2, 1, 0!

00:32 Earlier, the Department of Foreign Affairs launched the Philippine e-Visa system.

00:39 The e-Visa system will allow foreign nationals to apply for visitor visas remotely

00:45 through their personal computers, laptops, and mobile devices.

00:50 One of the first contributors to the project,

00:53 Chinese nationals are being sent to the Philippines.

00:57 I'm pleased to share that the Philippine e-Visa system is ready to be soft launched for beta testing,

01:03 which will be led by the Philippine Consulate General in Shanghai.

01:07 More Chinese tourists are expected to visit the Philippines.

01:13 Before the pandemic,

01:15 China was the second largest number of tourists visiting the Philippines,

01:20 followed by South Korean nationals.

01:22 Some of their favorite destinations are the island of Hurakan,

01:27 where there is a direct flight from China to Kalibu, Aklan.

01:31 Senator Nancy Binay, the Chair of the Senate Tourism Committee, also showed support.

01:36 But she also hopes that there will be a face-to-face process

01:40 so that undesirable travelers will not be able to enter the country.

01:45 Binay's concern is that foreign and local tourists will be expected to visit the Philippines simultaneously

01:52 because it's only been a few weeks, or even months.

01:55 According to the Bureau of Immigration,

01:57 they are preparing for this,

01:59 such as placing special lanes for back-country and OFWs.

02:05 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, your witness.
