Is machine readable password different from ePassport?

For those who are planning to obtain a job or start a business after they retire to the Philippines, dual citizenship is a must. Whereas there are various residency options for a non.citizen to retire in the Philippines, there are numerous benefits to such a retire to acquire dual citizenship in the Philippines.

I guess it is:

BTW, make sure you are getting the Machine readable e-passport (with RFID chip).

In 2007, we issued 228,430 MRPs, 2 years ahead of the ICAO deadline.
In 2008, 2,097,383 MRPs were issued.
From January to August 9, 2009, 1,500,402 MRPs have been issued and delivered.
From 2007 to date, the DFA has issued and delivered a total of 3,826,215 MRPs.

We have raised our standard one level more above the MRP - the state of the art Philippine ePassport!
The ePassport takes the MRP to the next higher level and standard in travel documents: an embedded microchip containing the following:
· Data essential in verifying the passport holder's identity, including the holder's personal data, biometrics and digital signature.
This chip is interoperable, that is to say, it can be read by any standard passport machine reader in border controls worldwide.

• A complex laminate that protects the datapage against tampering;
• Customized invisible images on every page; and
• A hidden and coded technology that allows the encoding of the holder's name and passport number on the passport photo.

This isworld class ePassport at its best!

They are now currently issuing e-Passports.

Need kasi makuha ng DFA biometrics ng lahat ng nag-aapply ng passport. Kaya ganyan katagal or kabagal ang process. But I hope sa pagrenew ng e-passport, hindi na ganyan katagal.
