Dear Chief Acosta,

Ako ay 17 years old pa lamang at nag-apply ako ng pasaporte. Napansin ko na ang bisa nito ay limang taon lamang at hindi 10 taon. Tama ba ito? – Phil

Dear Tiffany,

Para sa iyong kaalaman, ang iyong katanungan ay tinatalakay sa Republic Act (R.A.) No. 10928, amending Section 10 of R. A. No. 8239, o mas kilala bilang Philippine Passport Act of 1996. Nakasaad sa nasabing batas na:


“Section 1. Section 10 of Republic Act No. 8239, otherwise known as the ‘Philippine Passport Act of 1996’ is hereby amended to read as follows:
SEC. 10. Validity - Regular passports issued under this Act shall be valid for a period of ten (10) years: Provided, however, That for individuals under eighteen (18) years of age, only a passport with five (5)-year validity shall be issued: Provided, further, That the issuing authority may limit the period of validity to less that ten (10) years, whenever in the national economic interest or political stability of the country such restriction is necessary: Provided, finally, That a new passport may be issued to replace one which validity has expired, the old passport being returned to the holder after cancellation.” (Binigyang-diin) 

Malinaw na nabanggit sa batas na ang mga indibidwal na kulang labing-walong (18) taong gulang ay mabibigyan lamang ng limang (5) taong bisa ang pasaporte.
