The rules say that it is doable. But the word given down to the Consulate's is that foreigners are not allowed without an exemption AND the reason for the exemption must be urgent or essential. Here is the exact wording:
Pursuant to the Philippine Bureau of Immigration's latest Travel Advisory, all foreign nationals are still prohibited from entering the Philippines, except for those who are exempted pursuant to the latest directives of the Office of the President and/or resolution by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).
Foreign nationals who wish to be reunited with their Filipino families may seek an endorsement for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) entry exemption (EE) if you feel that your situation warrants urgent and essential travel.
I just filed for mine and it was 17 pages of documents that I had to send. If you want more information and the requirements for this elusive exemption you can PM me . I will update people once I get approved or denied. This is at the end of what they sent me.
Should we find your request valid, we will endorse your request to DFA. Please note that there is no guarantee on the approval of the issuance of an entry exemption.
First you need to satisfy the Consulate and then they will forward it along to the DFA who may still deny you.
