It's similar to the above but seems 'definite' rather than 'proposed' and gives a definite start date, November 22.

 Yes BUT it is only the 19th Yet!

And it is not for tourists, just relaxes the requirements for those already allowed in.   But still, it is progress.

<snip> Note, however, that the Philippines still does not allow tourism arrivals for foreigners. Only foreigners with certain types of business and diplomat visas are allowed entry. <end snip>

"Those already allowed in" includes spouses of returning Philippine citizens or dual citizens, right?

I believe so Guy, the way I read this and past articles. Provided that man and wife are traveling together. 

As to dual citizens I have heard from my niece who recently got her USA citizenship that there is a rush among the FilAm community to get their dual status.

Correct.  Also those who have an SRRV (Special Resident Retiree’s Visa).

9a visa for those married to, or the parent of a citizen if travelling alone is also valid.  I just had mine approved.

I read it four times. It just says "international arriving passengers". Previous decrees have stated that spouses and children of returning Fipinos may be admitted with vaccinations and other conditions.
