Itching to travel?
One of the many traits of Filipinos is that they love to travel and go around. Maybe because the Philippines is rich with culture and islands that every part you go to is a different experience. Same as with traveling to other countries, especially in South East Asia Europe and the US. But sometimes, VISA requirements kill the excitement because of all the hassles of applying and the time you spend on the process of getting it.
Well, good news, because the DFA has released VISA free countries that are open for FILIPINO passports!
