Press Release
TOLENTINO AIRS CONCERN OVER LOW HENLEY PASSPORT INDEX RANKING OF PH PASSPORT
Senator Francis Tol Tolentino expressed concern over the low ranking of Philippine passports in the 2021 Henley Passport Index.
Tolentino aired his concern during the hearing of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, chaired by Senator Koko Pimentel, saying that the country s No. 77 ranking should not be taken lightly by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). It is indicative not just of the survey done, but the power of our passport, Tolentino said. The passport is the badge of citizenship and you should be proud of that. Ngayon, kung downgraded ang passport natin, medyo downgraded ang pagtanggap sa atin ng host country, he added.
