Eversince The Great South East Asia Trip (with Japayuki and Bebot Angel) and my Hong Kong Adventure (with The Viking), my love for traveling has not only been rekindled but it’s BLAZING. Of course there is that little anoying problem with this thing called MONEY, but other than that, I’m all set for a trip ANYWHERE in the world. Take me to the moutanins of Nepal or the plains of Slovakia, I’m all for it.
But being a Filipino is just a hassle since we’re almost always required a visa to travel to anywhere. But to nurture the wanderer in me (and in some of you), here is the list of countries that a Filipino resident can visit without requiring to apply for a visa beforehand. But don’t take *my* word for it. I just got this list off Wikipedia. Limited though as they may be, just looking at the possibilities just make me want to work for it harder.
It is estimated that 62 countries and territories granted visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Philippine passport holders, while 41 countries and territories are visa free accessible (visa on arrival for free counted).
