Senator Christopher “Bong” Go expressed his gratitude for the unanimous approval of Senate Bill No. 2001, also known as the New Philippine Passport Act. The bill was approved during the third and final reading on Monday, September 25, with 20 affirmative votes, zero negative vote, and zero abstention.
“This will further improve passport application process and its accessibility to the general public, and to enhance the security and integrity of the Philippine passport,” he added. The proposed legislation, a priority for President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., enables both senior citizens and migrant workers to renew their passports online, thereby removing the necessity to physically go to the Department of Foreign Affairs office.
The proposed legislation also includes provisions for creating a watchlist of people who have either been refused a passport or have had their existing passports revoked.
