There’s something so satisfying about collecting stamps or little souvenirs from the places you visit. Maybe it’s proof you didn’t just spend your weekend bedrotting, or maybe you’re a devout completionist at heart. The point is, some passports let you start filling them out without waiting for a flight. Some are free, some cost a few pesos, and some are even prizes you can win by joining special activities. Here are five novelty and tourism passports to look out for around Metro Manila.
