Approximately how much does it cost to get, process or renew a Philippine Passport in the Philippines?

Nine Hundred plus pesos, if you want to get it the ordinary way.

One Thousand and two hundred pesos if you want to have it in ten days.

You have to go personally with all your needed papers and documents.

Logically the cost should be covering the courier charges and by that I was saying ok with the price. BUT! Obviously the Philippine Embassies does not send individual couriers, rather by bulk, right? Although the good thing is that while they have given a time-frame of 1 month, the passports came back within the start of the 3rd week. I answer only to express the same sentiment. Like you, we wonder at the exorbitant price. Add: Although I disagree with you with the local processing. DFA gives you an option of expedite processing of ten days which is only at PHP1200, still way less than half of the price you pay when you are abroad.

about 900 excluding the fare going to the DFA. thru agency its about 1500,
