Wishing to travel without the hassles of visa application, possible lengthy interrogation by immigration officers and costly yet possibly fruitless attempts to secure a tourist visa? Philippine passport holders still have dozens of countries or territories to consider as alternatives to the popular destinations such as the United States, Japan or France.
These places may sound unfamiliar/dangerous/unheard of, but with the exception of very few, each in the list offers wonderful attractions and value for money being considered as “off the beaten path”.
