If your passport's feeling neglected and your feet are itching for an adventure, we’ve got just the ticket — or rather, 74 of them, as per Henley & Partners (H&P) and latest updates (as of July 8, 2025).

H&P, which oversees the global index of passport power, compares the visa-free access of 199 different passports to 227 travel destinations.

Filipino travellers now have access to a wide range of destinations around the world that don’t require a visa before you hop on that plane.
