About the Philippines passport

The Philippines passport ranks #61 of 200 globally, ahead of 70% of the world's ranked passports. Philippines citizenship is inheritable across generations, meaning children born to Philippines citizens abroad may be eligible to claim citizenship by descent.

Passport context
