Does Duterte's lockdown on Metro Manila due to COVID-19 impact non-Filipino citizens traveling from Metro Manila to somewhere else?
I read on https://redd.it/fhg2ew (mirror):
Land, Air, Sea Travel suspended to and from Metro Manila, March 15 to April 14, 2020
and I read on https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/3/12/Philippines-expands-travel-ban-to-all-countries-with-local-COVID-19-transmission.html (mirror):
All foreign nationals coming from countries reporting local transmissions of COVID-19 cannot enter the country, while Filipinos cannot travel to those countries.
but none of these pages seem to link to any official source.

The French embassy in Manila confirmed this information on 2020-03-12.
I have reported the Reddit post mentioned in the question to the sub's mods for spreading incorrect information.
Now the question is whether there will be any flight available: What percentage of international flights departing from Manila (MNL) are canceled due to Duterte's COVID-19 lockdown on Metro Manila from 2020-03-15 to 2020-04-14?
