I found a statement of Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Domingo Lucenario Jr. in a Philippine Daily Inquirer report "the two earlier passport versions would still be recognized in ports around the world until expiration,but just to be sure try to call DFA hotline at 556-0000 so dont listen to what people says...I hope this helps..

Good luck!

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

It should be valid at least six months.

i think there's a requirement for machine readable passport in the US Embassy.

I'd hope you will change your passport here, cheaper than in the Phil Embassy, it will only take two weeks.

Ask if you can expedite.

Good luck!

It's better to replace it before you go. All renewals in the US now require that you make a personal appearance at the consulate with jurisdiction over your area. So, save yourself some money on travel expense and get the machine readable one in Philippines before you leave.

If you decide to stick with the green one, be prepared for extra scrutiny at the POE. My wife has insisted on not renewing her passport until it expires and she's had nothing but trouble traveling with it.

As long that it has been accepted by SLEC.. no need to worry.. your passport is still valid.. as you and the internet stated passport should atleast be 6 mos before it expire..

They probably return her passport cause it's less than 6 mos.
