the passport renewal is supposed to be atleast 45 days but i think there was a problem in the philippines that why passports being renewed nowadays is taking too much.  in the philippines, it takes 65 days for normal charges and if it is rush, it takes 55 days. but now, its taking more time than 55 or 65 days.  what philippine embassy do now is to extend the validity of your passport in 1 month if it will nearly expire to make your passport valid.
