An RT-PCR test will only be carried out when the individual shows Covid-19 symptoms within the seven-day quarantine.
Roque said the inter-agency coronavirus task force approved the new guidelines on Thursday.
"An individual shall be considered as having been fully vaccinated two or more weeks after receiving the second dose in a two-dose series, or two or more weeks after receiving a single-dose vaccine," Roque explained.
He said that a fully vaccinated individual must carry the vaccination card verified before departure.
After completing the seven-day facility-based quarantine, Roque said the quarantine bureau shall issue a quarantine certificate indicating the individual's vaccination status.
He reiterated that the Southeast Asian country only allows foreign nationals with valid and existing visas to enter.
The Philippines previously required all arriving travellers to undergo a 14-day quarantine upon arrival and a swab test on the seventh day within the stay in a quarantine facility.
