From the official Website of the US Embassy to the Philippines:

“Entry to the Philippines:  Although travel to the Philippines is now permitted, U.S. citizens should know and comply with arrival and departure requirements as promulgated by the Philippine government , which generally include the following as a minimum:
Being fully vaccinated, except for minor children below age 12 traveling with fully vaccinated parents who can present acceptable proof of vaccination.  Unvaccinated foreign nationals will not be allowed admission into the Philippines, and;
Passport valid for at least six (6) months at the time of entry.
When making travel plans, check destination-specific travel requirements to avoid unnecessary delays.
Foreign nationals who are fully vaccinated with at least one booster shot are no longer required to provide a negative RT-PCR test, provided they present proof of vaccination along with their valid passport; see IATF Resolution 168 for more information.
Foreign spouses and/or children of Filipino citizens and former Filipino citizens with balikbayan privilege under Republic Act No. 9174, including their foreign spouse and/or children who: (i) are not balikbayans in the own right and (ii) are traveling with them to the Philippines — who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and do not have boosters, are subject to quarantine upon arrival.  You have the option to choose your quarantine facility.  A list of quarantine facilities is available on the BOQ website .
The Philippine government requires all arriving passengers to complete a BOQ electronic Arrival Card (eArrival Card) .  This includes children.  You can register up to three days in advance of your departure for the Philippines through the BOQ’s eArrival Card webpage .  Remember to save a copy of the transaction number and QR code, which will be required by Philippine immigration authorities.”
