The power of a Philippine passport

As you create your travel itinerary, mix in countries that are more accessible to maximize your experiences.
- Visa Applications: For destinations that require visas for travelers from the Philippines, be proactive in applying well in advance. Consult the embassy or consulate websites for each country’s visa requirements, fees and processing times. Planning ahead can save you time and hassle
