Visa-free countries Filipinos can go to

This year is a lot more exciting for Filipinos to travel because the number of countries with no visa requirements increased to 66 (Taiwan's 14-day no-visa policy to Filipinos will expire on July 31, 2019.

Ten years ago, my first visa application for Canada was rejected so here's what I did. I built up my "travel resume" by going to countries that didn't require any visa so I could collect stamps on my passport. Three years after, on my second try for the Canadian visa, I finally got the approval. If you are having a hard time with your visa application to say, US or UK, this may do the trick.

The Philippine passport may not be as powerful as that of Japan or Singapore but it's much easier to travel without a visa to worry about.

Here's the list of countries Filipinos can travel to without any visa requirements (some countries require you to get a visa on arrival at the airport).
