An RT-PCR test will only be carried out when the individual shows Covid-19 symptoms within the seven-day quarantine.
Roque said the inter-agency coronavirus task force approved the new guidelines on Thursday.
"An individual shall be considered as having been fully vaccinated two or more weeks after receiving the second dose in a two-dose series, or two or more weeks after receiving a single-dose vaccine," Roque explained.
He said that a fully vaccinated individual must carry the vaccination card verified before departure.
After completing the seven-day facility-based quarantine, Roque said the quarantine bureau shall issue a quarantine certificate indicating the individual's vaccination status.
He reiterated that the Southeast Asian country only allows foreign nationals with valid and existing visas to enter.
