Physical Appearance
The latest Philippine passports have a maroon cover with the national coat-of-arms emblazoned in the centre. The cover has the Filipino words "PILIPINAS" above the arms and "PASAPORTE" under.
Passports issued during the latter years of the Fourth Republic had the order reversed (strikingly similar to the United States passport), with "PASAPORTE" on top and "REPUBLIKA NG PILIPINAS" on the bottom. All passports issued since this period have the cover in Filipino save for the SIRB, which has the cover text in English.
A typical passport has 44 (previously 32 or 64) pages.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or appearance:
“There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
