More people, it seems, are bringing pets with
them when they come to live in the Philippines. For those who
wish to know more about this, please read on.
Here is the list of requirements from the
(San Francisco) Philippine Consulate General website regarding
importing pets into the Philippines, per The Philippines Bureau
of Animal Industry:
I am bringing a pet to the Philippines
and was told I need to obtain certain papers required by
Philippine Customs. What papers do I need to obtain? Do I
need to have these authenticated by the Consulate?
A. Obtain an Import Permit from
the Director of the Bureau of Animal Industry:
The Bureau of Animal Industry
Animal Health Division
Visayas Avenue
Diliman, Quezon City 1100
Philippines
Telephone: +63-2-920-0816
Tele-Fax: +63-2-920-0815
The Import Permit must be presented
at the airport, upon the arrival of the pet.
B. Obtain a Health Certificate
for each pet, issued by a duly licensed veterinarian or
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is dated
within 30 days before the date of arrival. The
Health Certificate should certify that the animal is
free from, and has not been recently exposed to, any
dangerous or communicable disease, and that it has been
given anti-rabies and other inoculations.
C. Bring or mail the papers to the
Consulate for authentication.
Failure to obtain
authenticated import permits and health certificates may
result in your pet being quarantined upon arrival in the
Philippines.

Would you like
to learn the language spoken in Cebu and elsewhere
in the Visayas and Mindanao Regions of the
Philippines? If so, this is an excellent
introductory book for you to begin learning
the basics of Cebuano.
The book is titled Conversational English-Cebuano Made Easy, by
my long time friend, and author,
Cristina Canonigo. She has authored more than 100 books, to date.
An earlier version of
this book, the 2001 edition, is the version I used
to begin learning Cebuano when I first moved to Cebu. It was a
great first book for me. I assure you, if you
spend a few minutes per day with it, you will
begin to learn Cebuano as well.
