Hi all! Just wanted to ask you Philippine passport holders how long the passport is good for (months or years)? My fiancee will be scheduling to get one soon but I just wanted an idea on how long they were good for. Thanks again.

I would hate to see you have the same problem we had when she went to renew her passport. If you are to go to the DFA tomorrow it will probably be sometime mid July before you can get in and if you apply online it will be at least August before you can get in at Manila. Olive finally after two attemps at the DFA in Angeles was able to get her appointment date on July 1.
