Recently, the Philippines has reached another milestone as it has ranked at the 76th spot in the 2020 Henley Passport Index, a global ranking system that scores which passport can get you to the most number of destinations without a prior visa. Imagine this: you only need a passport to visit 67 destinations outside the Philippines without needing a visa!
Hopefully, we will continue to climb on this ladder and get more destinations within our reach. If you already have a passport, then plan out your next travel with the barkada or with the family. If you don’t, I suggest you already get one yourself as it is quite readily accessible to take one and will only take a little amount of time with the proper requirements and preparation.
If you’re already getting your planners and pens ready, then here are the destinations you can go to:

67 is a lot, so be sure to plan wisely and accordingly on what you like to do or a bucktetlist of sorts to know where you’d like to go. If you’d want to swim and relax while drinking a fruit cocktail under the sun, you can come to the Maldives, Barbados, or Fiji.
If you’re planning on a nature escapade or a trip of soul searching, I’d recommend Indonesia or Laos. If you like the festivities of an urban adventure, Brazil and Singapore is a good pick.
Again, 67 is a lot, so be sure to choose wisely!
