Sad times.

A passport index report by financial firm Arton Capital from Canada ranks the Philippines 57th among passports that allow holders to visit a country without a visa or a visa upon arrival.

According to the report, there are 61 countries that will take us in without a visa, putting us in the same league as Nigeria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Tunisia, Tanzania, Mali, Namibia and Zambia.

The correct figure, however, could be lower.

According to this GMA report published in 2012, there are at least 25 countries that don’t require visas for Filipinos.

We tried to get hold of Department of Foreign Affairs for clarification but were unsuccessful.

Below is the list of countries that our passport allows us to visit, visa-free:

– Brazil

– Bolivia

– Brunei

– Cambodia

– Colombo

– Costa Rica

– Ecuador

– Hong Kong
