CAPAS, Tarlac — Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano on Tuesday announced that 100,000 passport application appointment slots from February to May had been made available to the public starting today.

The general public can access the slots by visiting and scheduling appointment at https://passport.gov.ph.
