Thanks everyone. Wirehead, my only issue is returning to Phils, not leaving. I will renew my passport there the 1st working day after my arrival. Based on my experience in DFA Manila, renewal takes only 3 hours tops and I get my new passport in 1 week. Now, it should be much faster as there are more passport processing centers with the opening of their satellite offices (in Malls, how convenient is that?). So, I should have no problem leaving Phils.
