Got 9a visa

[Kby175 115]

My trip next month is fast approaching, I just received my 9a visa from the Philippine consulate here in Houston.  I am hoping the drop the LGU requirement for Bacolod but not holding my breath, they are alert level 2 for covid and still have not dropped the S Pass requirement.  Does anyone have experience with dealing with their LGU and how does airport pick up work?  I have seen some YouTube videos saying the LGU picks you up from the province airports. There is just so much conflicting information out there on the LGU's and each one is different.

I arranged airport pickup and hotel together. I walked out of the airport and a guy was holding a sign with my name on it. I also had his contact info that they emailed me. I can't tell you much on LGU because we drove to ours. As far as LGU quarantine, where I am it is noon existent. I was only told to contact them if I had any symptoms and to stay home but there is zero enforcement.

I'd like to know how it went for you on your travel to Bacolod, so please provide an update next month when you get there.  Bacolod is where our Philippine home is, and we are looking to make a trip early next year..

I will be documenting it to help others, most cities are dropping the S Pass requirement but for some reason Bacolod will not even though they are at a level 2 risk level, 4 being the highest.  We are actually slightly south of Bacolod in Bago city.
