I finally was able to use my new passport in my trip back to EU last week. It now has a stamp of Phil. immigration! It’s not so bare anymore.
So how does the new machine readable Philippine passport look like? It looks like this from the outside:
Instead of the old green-colored one, it’s now maroon!
An old lady at the DFA office kept asking us why the new passport doesn’t have a space for signature. "I don’t know Lola, basta amo na ila ginhatag!"
And just in case you’re thinking of traveling to Iraq, sorry dear, you’re not allowed!
Oh yeah, I love the new passports as well. I have one of those brown ones as well and they look real nice compared to the old ones.
