Updated in September 2025.
The risk of COVID-19 is still looming. The pandemic is not yet over. Despite the Philippines performing relatively better this time, many of our neighboring countries are experiencing surges of infection. But we have to move forward, recover, and stir economic activities.
The government is mandating return-to-office starting April 01, so many of us will be returning to the workplace from our respective provinces. It’s time to get out from our dens and meet our workmates and friends face-to-face while observing proper health protocols.
For those who reside in Negros Oriental and are working or traveling to Cebu or vise versa, here are the updated rates and schedule from Maayo Shipping for your reference.
