Cebu Pacific said it would offer its passengers RT-PCR tests with a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround period for P2,500, the cheapest among local carriers, making COVID-19 testing more accessible for travelers yet to be fully vaccinated.
It is offered by Cebu Pacific's partner, Safeguard DNA Diagnostics Inc, which has facilities in Mandaluyong, Davao, and Bacolod.
"As some local and international destinations may still require negative RT-PCR test results, we made sure we are able to provide the cheapest rates in the market which may conveniently be availed by everyJuan through our website," said Candice Iyog, the airline's vice president for marketing and customer experience.
