My New Passport has 10 Years Validity

I got a new passport today! Happy about:

1. We now have aircon at the Philippine embassy #progress

2. Faster processing time (1 month vs 2 months previously)

3. 10 years validity (previously it was 5 years). This is good because each passport costs $102 plus the embassy is so far.

4. My new passport pic looks better than my old one.

5. The pages have pics of the Philippines and the lyrics of Lupang Hinirang.

I then realized that I don’t remember all the lyrics anymore! My Sibika teacher is going to be so disappointed. 😅
